session_to_arrangement

Lay out session view scenes sequentially on the arrangement timeline by placing clips end-to-end starting from beat 0, enabling song structure creation from session clips.

Instructions

Lay out session view scenes sequentially on the arrangement timeline. Takes a list of scene indices and places each scene's clips end-to-end starting from beat 0. Use this to build a full song structure from session view clips.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It explains the sequential placement starting at beat 0 but does not mention whether it overwrites existing arrangement content, destructiveness, or side effects, leaving gaps in behavioral disclosure.

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?

The description is concise with three sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The tool is simple with one parameter. The description covers the main function and parameter meaning well. It lacks mention of error handling or edge cases but is largely complete for the tool's complexity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds meaning by explicitly stating 'Takes a list of scene indices' and explaining their role. It could improve by noting index range (e.g., 0-indexed) and potential errors.

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 verb 'lay out' and the resource 'session view scenes on the arrangement timeline', with specific details about sequential placement from beat 0. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'duplicate_session_to_arrangement'.

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 implicitly indicates usage: 'Use this to build a full song structure from session view clips.' It provides clear context but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative sibling suggestions.

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