clone_voice

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. Discloses pricing, payment requirement, output type, and quality modes. Lacks details on file format constraints, duration limits, or error conditions, which would improve transparency.

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 focused sentences: purpose/output, quality modes, pricing/payment. Every sentence adds value, no fluff, front-loaded with most important information.

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?

Covers main purpose, inputs, modes, payment requirement, and output type. No output schema, but description mentions voice_id. Missing file format and size constraints, but overall adequate for a tool with 4 parameters and 100% schema coverage.

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 coverage is 100% (all 4 parameters described). Description adds context: explains paymentId must be paid, voiceFileUrl must be public, and model enum meanings. Goes beyond schema by explaining the payment flow.

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?

Clearly states 'Clone any voice from a single audio sample' and describes the output as a reusable voice_id for text-to-speech. Distinguishes from sibling tools like text_to_speech by explicitly linking the output.

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?

Specifies prerequisite: requires create_payment with toolName='clone_voice'. Mentions cost (7,500 sats) and payment method (Bitcoin Lightning). Provides context on model selection (Turbo vs HD) but does not explicitly state when not to use the tool.

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