create_sequence_from_clip

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden and largely fails it. It does not say whether the new sequence is added to the project bin, whether it becomes the active sequence, what happens if nodeId points to a non-clip item, or whether a project must be open – all material for a creation/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.

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

A single tight sentence with the purpose front-loaded and no filler. The trailing "etc." is slightly loose where an enumerated setting list or an omitted count would be sharper, but overall it is well-proportioned.

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 sequence-creating mutation with zero annotations and no output schema, the description omits almost everything an agent needs: where the sequence lands, what happens to existing sequences, what identifiers come back, and how it differs from create_sequence. The basic intent is clear, but the operational context is not.

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 coverage is 100% and the nodeId description ("the nodeId of the project item to base the sequence on") already explains the parameter. The description's contribution is only the word "clip," which is not strictly consistent with the schema's broader "project item" wording, adding no real semantics beyond the schema.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Create a new sequence") plus the mechanism (matching a clip's settings, with resolution/frame rate as examples), so an agent knows exactly what it produces. It stops short of a 5 because it never distinguishes itself from close siblings like create_sequence, clone_sequence, or create_subsequence.

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?

The use case is only implied: you would reach for this when an existing clip already has the settings you want. There is no explicit when-to-use, no exclusion against create_sequence or clone_sequence, and no stated prerequisite that the nodeId must reference a clip/project item.

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