Create sequence

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

Discloses key behavioral traits: opens modal dialog requiring human confirmation, returns error if not confirmed, defaults to HD 1080p 25fps, and includes timeout parameter. No annotations present, so description carries full burden. Lacks mention of return value on success or other error conditions.

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?

Description is efficiently structured with a clear first sentence for purpose, followed by a note detailing the modal dialog behavior. Every sentence adds value, though the note is slightly long.

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?

Covers the dialog interaction and preset selection, but fails to specify the return value on successful creation. Given the complexity and lack of output schema, some information about the returned sequence object or success indicator is missing.

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 100% with parameter descriptions, but description adds value by explaining defaults (HD 1080p 25fps, useDefaultPreset true, timeout 60) and the purpose of presetPath in the dialog. This goes beyond the schema alone.

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?

Clearly states it creates a new sequence and mentions default preset and modal dialog behavior. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'premiere_new_sequence', which appears to serve a similar purpose.

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?

Implies usage for sequence creation but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'premiere_new_sequence'. Only directs to use 'premiere_list_sequence_presets' for preset selection.

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