delete_clips

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

No annotations provided. Description lacks details on destructive nature, reversibility, permissions, or impact on timeline rhythm. For a deletion tool, behavioral context is crucial.

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?

Extremely concise: one phrase. No redundant information, but may be too terse. Could benefit from slight expansion without losing conciseness.

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?

Given no output schema, low schema coverage, and minimal description, the tool lacks contextual completeness. Missing details on return value, side effects, and example usage.

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?

Only 25% of parameters have schema descriptions. The tool description does not clarify the meaning of filepath, clip_ids, or output_path. The ripple parameter's default behavior is mentioned in schema but not in description.

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?

The description 'Delete clips from timeline' clearly states the action and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like trim_clip or split_clip.

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 vs alternatives like trim_clip or split_clip. Does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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