v1.2.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose side effects, file output, or prerequisites; it only says 'export as project.' It does not mention whether a save location is prompted, whether an existing project is overwritten, or what the result of the operation is.
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 only one short phrase, but it is mostly vacuous: 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' is filler and 'export as project' repeats the tool name. It is under-specified rather than usefully 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?
With no annotations, no output schema, and no usage details, the description is inadequate for a tool that performs an export operation. An agent cannot determine the input scope, return value, or side effects of calling this tool.
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 0 documented parameters, so the baseline for this dimension is 4. The description adds no parameter details, but there are none to add; the schema coverage is effectively complete.
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 reads 'export as project,' which is a direct restatement of the tool name export_as_project. It identifies the domain as Premiere Pro but adds no specification of what exporting as a project entails or how it differs from export_as_fcp_xml, export_aaf, or export_omf.
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?
There is no guidance about when to choose this tool over sibling export tools or how it relates to validate_project_for_export, encode_project_item, or start_batch_encode. The description neither states prerequisites nor excludes alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
