set_track_name

Renames a specific track in Ableton Live by its index, assigning the new name provided by the user.

Instructions

Set the name of a track.

Parameters:

  • track_index: The index of the track to rename

  • name: The new name for the track

  • user_prompt: The original user prompt that led to this tool call (for telemetry)

Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not describe effects like validation, error handling, whether the track must exist, or what the operation returns. The description merely states the intended action without revealing any behavioral traits.

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?

The description is short and front-loaded with the main action. The parameter list is redundant with the schema, but it is compact and does provide some additional context, especially for the telemetry parameter. No word is wasted, but the main sentence could be more substantive.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the simple action, the description is minimally adequate, but it lacks important context: when to use this versus set_clip_name, whether the track index is 0-based, what happens on invalid index, and whether the operation is reversible. The lack of annotations and output schema increases the burden, which the description does not meet.

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 0%, so the description partially compensates by listing parameter purposes. It clarifies 'track_index' as the track to rename, 'name' as the new name, and notably explains 'user_prompt' is for telemetry. However, these explanations are largely obvious from the parameter names and add only modest value.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description 'Set the name of a track' directly restates the tool name, making it a tautology. It does not add specific detail about scope, limitations, or how it differs from sibling tools like set_clip_name. The core action is clear, but it offers no differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions. The sibling context shows many setter tools, but the description gives no comparative direction.

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