ae_add_camera

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

No annotations; description only mentions it becomes active camera. Does not disclose side effects, prerequisites (e.g., comp must exist), or whether it replaces existing cameras.

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 concise sentences front-load the purpose and add a useful tip. No superfluous words.

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?

Adequate for a basic add tool, but lacks parameter documentation and behavioral details. References other tools for animation, which is helpful.

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% and description does not explain any of the 5 parameters (comp, name, enableDepthOfField, etc.). Fails to compensate for low schema detail.

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 adds a Camera layer and that it becomes the active camera. Distinguishes from other add tools like ae_add_master_camera, though doesn't explicitly differentiate.

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?

Provides explicit usage guidance: animate with ae_animate_camera, and reminds about 3D switch for 2D layers. Does not mention when not to use or alternatives, but context is clear.

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