set_clip_warp_mode

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action (setting warp mode) but does not mention side effects, mutability, undoability, or any impact on clip playback. The zero-based index note is a useful detail but does not cover broader behavioral transparency.

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 concise and well-structured, with a brief purpose sentence and a clean Args list. No redundant information is present, though it could be slightly expanded with a warp mode reference or example.

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?

The description is minimal for a tool with three parameters and no annotations. It does not explain what warp mode indices represent, how this relates to warp enablement, or what the output/return value is. Sibling tools exist, so more context is needed for reliable selection and invocation.

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 description adds meaning to the schema by specifying that track_index and clip_index are zero-based, which the schema does not provide. However, warp_mode is only described as 'Warp mode index to set' without enumerating valid values or their meaning, so the compensation is only partial.

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 verb 'Set' and the resource 'warp mode of an audio clip'. It is specific enough to convey the core function, but does not distinguish it from sibling tools like set_clip_warping or set_clip_ram_mode, which also operate on clip properties.

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 for when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or related tools, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name and description.

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