Describe Premiere windows

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

The description is fully transparent: it's read-only (matches annotation), lists window titles and foreground check, and is lightweight. It adds context beyond the annotation, such as the specific outputs and detection purpose.

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?

Two short sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the action and outputs, the second adds usage context. Perfectly front-loaded and concise.

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 parameters, annotations present, and no output schema, the description is complete. It covers purpose, behavior, and usage context. No additional information needed.

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?

The tool has no parameters, so the description doesn't need to explain any. It correctly handles this by focusing on behavior.

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 the tool lists Premiere's top-level window titles and foreground status, specifically for detecting dialogs. It uses specific verbs and resources, distinguishing it from sibling tools like premiere_status or premiere_get_app_info.

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?

The description explicitly says it's a lightweight way to detect dialogs, providing a clear use case. However, it doesn't mention when not to use it or differentiate from similar tools like premiere_status, but the context is sufficient.

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