mp3_id3_hidden

Analyzes MP3 ID3 tags to detect steganographic content by inspecting APIC and PRIV frames, padding, unknown frame IDs, and tag entropy.

Instructions

ID3v1/v2 hidden data analysis. Inspects APIC (image) frames, PRIV (private) frames, excessive padding, unknown frame IDs, and overall tag entropy for signs of steganographic content.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It transparently details what is inspected (APIC, PRIV, padding, unknown frame IDs, tag entropy) and the ultimate goal (detecting signs of steganographic content). This provides good behavioral insight without contradictions.

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?

Single sentence packed with specific information (frame types, padding, entropy) without redundancy. No wasted words. Front-loaded with the main purpose.

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?

Given the single required parameter and no output schema, the description is fairly complete. It details what is inspected and the goal. Could mention expected output format (e.g., report of findings), but not critical.

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?

Only one parameter, file_path, with schema description 'Path to MP3 audio file'. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. With 100% schema coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 identifies the tool's purpose: 'ID3v1/v2 hidden data analysis' and lists specific elements inspected (APIC, PRIV frames, padding, unknown IDs, entropy) for steganographic signs. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like mp3_metadata or mp3_frame_analysis.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use or not use this tool. The description implies it's for steganographic detection, but lacks contextual cues like 'use when suspecting hidden data in ID3 tags' or comparison to alternatives.

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