glitch_datamoshing

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

The description explains the underlying mechanism (P-frame corruption, drift, reset), which conveys the behavioral effect. However, without annotations, it does not disclose whether the tool is destructive, modifies inputs, or has side effects like temporary file creation.

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?

The description is short and front-loaded with the effect name and mechanism. It uses a numbered list for parameters and clearly indicates return type. Every sentence adds value.

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 the presence of an output schema, the description sufficiently covers input parameters, mechanism, and return value. However, it misses potential failure modes, required input formats, and performance considerations.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description carries the full burden. It explains the purpose of each parameter (input_path, output_path, drift, iframe_interval) and provides defaults, which adds meaning beyond the schema. The optional/null nature of output_path is not clarified.

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 clearly states 'Apply datamoshing glitch effect' and explains the simulation mechanism. It distinguishes the tool from general video tools but does not explicitly differentiate from the many glitch sibling tools (e.g., glitch_rgb_shift).

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 is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives like other glitch effects or video filters. The description does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or scenarios where the tool is inappropriate.

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