load_drum_kit

Load a drum rack onto a track and populate it with a specific drum kit. Provide track index, rack URI, and kit path.

Instructions

Load a drum rack and then load a specific drum kit into it.

Parameters:

  • track_index: The index of the track to load on

  • rack_uri: The URI of the drum rack to load (e.g., 'Drums/Drum Rack')

  • kit_path: Path to the drum kit inside the browser (e.g., 'drums/acoustic/kit1')

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It describes the action but omits details like whether the track must already exist or if it replaces content. Lacks disclosure of side effects or error conditions.

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 brief with two sentences and a clear bullet list. No unnecessary words, well-organized.

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is somewhat complete for a load operation but lacks details on return values, error handling, and preconditions. Feels adequate but not comprehensive.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description compensates well by naming all three parameters and providing examples for rack_uri and kit_path. Adds clarity beyond the raw schema.

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 states the tool loads a drum rack and a specific drum kit. It uses a specific verb-resource combination and distinguishes from siblings like load_instrument_or_effect or load_item_to_track.

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?

The description implies usage for loading drum kits but does not explicitly state when to prefer this over other loading tools or provide exclusions. No guidance on prerequisites or context.

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