B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It confirms this is a mutation that removes a link, but does not explain what happens to the unlinked audio/video counterpart, whether the action is reversible, or what conditions must be true for it to succeed.

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 a single clear sentence with no wasted words, and the core action is front-loaded. It is appropriately sized for a narrowly scoped tool.

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?

The schema fully documents all required parameters, and there is no output schema to explain. However, for a mutation tool with no annotations, the description is too sparse on behavioral implications and invocation guidance to be fully complete.

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 description coverage is 100%, and all three required parameters — clipIndex, trackType, and trackIndex — are documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides, which is acceptable given the complete schema coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states a specific verb and resource — unlink a clip from its linked audio/video counterpart — so the operation is immediately identifiable. It is distinguishable from the sibling link_clips, though it does not explicitly name or contrast with that alternative.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as link_clips, nor are prerequisites or exclusions stated. Usage is only implied by the verb 'Unlink'.

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