slip_edit

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

There are no annotations and the description offers no behavioral disclosure: it does not state side effects, whether it is destructive, what it operates on, or how it affects the timeline. 'Expanded operation' is meaningless without further detail.

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 extremely concise at one sentence and is not bloated. However, 'expanded operation' is vague filler that adds little meaning, preventing a 5.

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 context, the description is far too thin. It fails to explain what a slip edit does, what is required to invoke it, or how it differs from similar trim tools like roll_edit and slide_edit.

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 parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description is not required to explain parameter semantics, though it does not clarify implicit operating context such as selected clips or playhead position.

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 says 'Premiere Pro expanded operation: slip edit,' which names the operation but does not explain what a slip edit does. It does not distinguish itself from the sibling tools roll_edit and slide_edit, which are closely related trim operations.

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 about when to use this tool, what selection or context is required, or which alternatives (roll_edit, slide_edit, trim_clip) might be more appropriate. The description contains zero usage context.

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