add_sequence_folder

Idempotent

Create a Sequencer outliner folder in a Level Sequence movie scene, optionally under an existing parent, then save the sequence.

Instructions

Create a Sequencer outliner folder on a Level Sequence's movie scene (root folder, or a child of a named parent), inside an undo transaction, and save the sequence; success requires the save. Idempotent by name: a folder that already exists succeeds with already_existed true and saved false (nothing is written).

Returns: { sequence_path: string, folder_name: string, parent_folder: string, created: bool, already_existed: bool, root_folder_count: int, saved: bool, save_error?: string }

Input Schema

parent_folderNoOptional name of an existing parent folder; if given, the new folder is nested under it instead of at the root.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Goes well beyond the annotations: discloses the undo transaction wrapping, that the save is mandatory for success, and the precise idempotency contract (already_existed true with saved false and nothing written). This is exactly the behavioral context an agent needs for a mutating tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Behavior and idempotency semantics are front-loaded, followed by a compact return-shape line. No filler; every sentence conveys a distinct constraint.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the explicit Returns block fills that gap, and the mutation/save/undo behavior is fully described. Nothing an agent needs to invoke this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters. The description reinforces the parent_folder nesting semantics but adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource — create a Sequencer outliner folder on a Level Sequence's movie scene — with scope (root or child of a named parent). This is clearly distinguishable from siblings like remove_sequence_folder or move_track_to_folder.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explains the two usage modes (root vs. nested under a named parent) and the idempotent-on-existing-folder behavior, which tells the agent what to expect on repeat calls. It stops short of naming alternative tools or explicit when-not-to-use conditions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
