create_fusion_node

Create a Fusion node in a DaVinci Resolve composition and set its parameters to automate visual effects and compositing tasks.

Instructions

Create a Fusion node in the current composition.

Creates a new tool/node of the specified type in the active Fusion composition and optionally sets its parameters.

Args: node_type: The Fusion node type to create (e.g. "Background", "Blur", "Transform", "Merge", "MediaIn", "MediaOut", "ColorCorrector"). parameters: Optional dict of parameter name-value pairs to set on the node.

Behavior3/5

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

Lacks details on prerequisites (e.g., active composition), error states, or side effects. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but is minimal.

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?

Concise and well-structured: two opening sentences then clear argument list. No unnecessary words.

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?

Covers core functionality and parameters. With an output schema, return values need not be described. Slightly incomplete regarding assumptions (e.g., active composition).

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

Parameters5/5

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

Adds examples for node_type and explains parameters as optional name-value pairs, providing meaning beyond the minimal schema (type only, no descriptions).

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?

Clearly states it creates a Fusion node in the current composition. Uses specific verb 'create' and resource 'Fusion node', distinguishing it from siblings like 'create_fusion_node_chain'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'create_fusion_node_chain'. Usage is implied but not differentiated.

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