load_drum_kit

Load a drum rack onto a specific track and apply a kit preset by providing the rack URI and kit path.

Instructions

Load a drum rack and then load a specific kit into it. First loads the rack by URI, then navigates to kit_path to load the kit preset.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses the two-step process (rack first, then kit) but lacks details on idempotency, error behavior, or whether it replaces existing content. Minimal disclosure for a mutation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, no fluff. First sentence states purpose, second explains process. Efficient and front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having an output schema (partial completeness), the description omits crucial details like track_index role and failure scenarios. For a tool with three params and no schema descriptions, more context is needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It adds meaning by linking rack_uri and kit_path to the two steps, but does not explain track_index or provide value constraints. Partial compensation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool loads a drum rack and then a specific kit, with a two-step process. It distinguishes from siblings like 'load_instrument_or_effect' by explicitly naming drum components.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives clear context for when to use (for drum rack+kit loading) and implies alternatives exist (e.g., load_instrument_or_effect for other instruments). However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use or prerequisites.

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