auto_rough_cut

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

With no annotations, description fails to disclose traits like whether source files are modified, output format, or internal selection logic.

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

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

Single sentence with no waste, but could include brief usage context without increasing length significantly.

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

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

Too sparse for a tool with 9 parameters and no output schema; lacks info on output, error behavior, and relationship to other tools.

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

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

Description adds no additional meaning beyond schema descriptions; schema coverage is 56% but param semantics like 'pacing' and 'segments' interaction remain unclear.

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

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

Clear verb 'generate' and resource 'rough cut' with criteria (keywords, duration, pacing). However, does not differentiate from similar sibling tools like generate_montage.

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

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as generate_montage or manual editing.

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