Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior1/5

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

The description provides no information about side effects, dependencies, or what happens when the tool is invoked. With no annotations, the description is the only source of behavioral info, and it is insufficient.

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 concise sentence that efficiently conveys the core action without unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description is extremely minimal, lacking any context about output, errors, or expected behavior. Given the empty schema and no annotations, the description does not sufficiently complete the picture for a user or agent.

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?

The input schema has no parameters, so there is nothing to add meaning to. The description does not introduce parameter semantics, but this is a neutral case since no parameters exist.

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 clearly states the tool creates bars and tone in Premiere Pro, which is a specific action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools by naming a unique operation, though it lacks further detail.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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. The description simply restates the function without any context, prerequisites, or comparison to other tools.

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