rename_track

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 it discloses almost nothing: it doesn't state that this is a mutation on the active sequence, what happens if trackIndex is out of range, whether the change is undoable, or whether naming persists in the project file. Only the bare implication of 'rename' is conveyed.

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?

Three words, front-loaded with the verb and zero filler. It is efficient, though the brevity borders on under-specification rather than tight phrasing.

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?

With 3 required params, no annotations, and no output schema, the description needs to supply context — which sequence is targeted, error behavior, index conventions — and it supplies none. The fully documented schema keeps this from being inadequate, but the definition is only barely complete.

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 description coverage is 100% and the enum for trackType is fully documented, so the schema already defines all three parameters. The description adds no semantics beyond that — nothing about index origin (0- vs 1-based) or name constraints — so the baseline 3 applies.

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 ('Rename a track'), which distinguishes it from sibling mutators like rename_clip and rename_project_item by target type. However, it doesn't say which sequence or track scope is affected, so the resource is identified but not bounded.

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 description gives no guidance on when to use this versus rename_clip or rename_project_item, nor any prerequisites (e.g. that the track must exist in the active sequence). The agent must infer all selection conditions from the tool name alone.

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