set_clip

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 does not state that omitted optional parameters leave values unchanged, that position/length are interpreted in 'unit', or what permission/context constraints apply, leaving the mutation semantics largely undisclosed.

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 front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. Its brevity is close to under-specification, but nothing redundant is present.

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?

A 6-parameter mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, zero schema descriptions, and no output schema needs substantially more: partial-update behavior, unit semantics, and valid ranges are all missing.

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 0% for 6 parameters, yet the description only explains the required `clip` and loosely maps verbs to position/length/muted. The `unit` enum, `track`, and the units/scale of `position` and `length` remain undocumented anywhere.

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?

Names a concrete verb set (move/resize/mute) and the resource (playlist clip identified by id), so the action is understandable. However it omits the track-move and unit parameters entirely and gives no differentiation from siblings such as delete_clip or set_pattern, beyond the verb itself.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this instead of delete_clip, set_pattern, or apply_commands, and no mention of prerequisites. Usage is only inferable from the verb.

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