add_audio

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says the audio track is added or replaced, without explaining what happens to an existing audio track, how output_path is handled by default, or whether the original file is modified. This is a significant gap for a mutating operation.

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 a single sentence with no filler and the core action is front-loaded. It is appropriately brief, though the brevity contributes to the lack of behavioral and contextual detail.

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?

For a 4-parameter tool with no annotations and 0% schema description coverage, the description is too sparse. It does not address output file behavior, volume handling, or when to use this tool versus replace_audio, even if an output schema exists.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate by explaining any parameter. The parameter names like input_path, audio_path, volume, and output_path are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no details about formats, defaults, or constraints.

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 states a clear operation: adding or replacing a video's audio track. It is specific about the resource and action, but overlaps with the sibling tool 'replace_audio', so it does not fully distinguish itself from that alternative.

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 versus 'replace_audio', 'remove_audio', or 'adjust_volume'. The description gives no context for choosing between add_audio and replace_audio, which is especially important given the explicit overlap in the description.

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