set_clip_warping

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

With no annotations, the description explains the purpose of warping ('allow the clip to follow the session tempo') and adds availability context. It does not disclose failure modes or side effects beyond that, but this is a simple boolean setter.

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 compact and well-structured, with a one-line purpose, a short explanatory sentence, and a clearly formatted Args list. Every sentence contributes meaning.

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 simple setter with an output schema, the description covers purpose, behavior, and all parameters. It could mention error behavior for non-audio clips, but this is not critical.

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 provides per-parameter semantics for all three arguments, including zero-based indexing and the boolean meaning. This fully compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 'Enable or disable warping on an audio clip,' which is a specific action with a resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like set_clip_warp_mode by focusing on enabling/disabling rather than setting warp mode.

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?

It explicitly notes 'Only available for audio clips,' providing an exclusion criterion. However, it does not name alternative tools or provide more granular when-to-use guidance versus sibling warping tools.

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