export_sequence

Converts planned steps into an editable PageBolt sequence JSON for the Sequence Builder or Saved Automations, so users can tweak and re-run videos later. It does not run or consume quota.

Instructions

Turn a list of steps into a PageBolt sequence you (or the user) can edit and re-run: returns JSON to paste into the dashboard Sequence Builder ("Import JSON" - the same place "Edit sequence" opens), and it can optionally save it to the user's Saved Automations (save:true). Use it after you have planned a video/sequence so the user can tweak steps, highlights and narration themselves, or re-run it later with record_video / run_sequence. Does not run the sequence or consume quota. Put {{username}}/{{password}} placeholders in fill steps instead of real credentials; never include cookies.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesName for the sequence (used when saved).
paceNoVideo pace multiplier (video only).
saveNoIf true, also save it to the user's Saved Automations (appears in the dashboard and extension Library). Default false.
typeNo"video" if it will be recorded with record_video (default), "sequence" for run_sequence.
stepsYesSteps, same shape as record_video / run_sequence steps: {action, url|selector|value|key|ms|x|y|script|style|color|duration|note|narration|pauseAfter|optional}. Prefer scrolling by selector, never guessed pixel offsets.
formatNoVideo format (video only).
viewportNoViewport size.
audioGuideNoNarration settings (video only).
descriptionNoOptional description.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does well: it discloses the return artifact (JSON to paste into Import JSON), the optional persistence side effect (save:true lands in Saved Automations and the Library), and that it is non-executing and quota-free. It omits failure modes and any auth/permission requirements, so it falls short of a 5.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loads the core transformation and return value, then layers usage and safety guidance. Dense but the two sentences are long and include some parenthetical detail; still, no sentence is filler.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 9-parameter tool with nested objects and no output schema, the description explains the nature of the return (JSON for import) and the key side effect, which is the right level of detail. It does not sketch the JSON shape or note limits (e.g., 100-step cap), leaving minor gaps.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds real meaning beyond the schema by explaining save:true's destination and by giving a safety rule for step contents ('Put {{username}}/{{password}} placeholders in fill steps instead of real credentials; never include cookies').

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 concrete verb+resource: turning a list of steps into an editable, re-runnable PageBolt sequence and returning JSON for the dashboard Sequence Builder. It explicitly differentiates from siblings by saying it does not run the sequence, unlike record_video / run_sequence.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives an explicit trigger ('Use it after you have planned a video/sequence'), the benefit for the user (tweak steps/highlights/narration), the follow-up tools (record_video / run_sequence), and a clear exclusion ('Does not run the sequence or consume quota').

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