Instructions

Premiere Pro expanded operation: get sequence structure.

Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It provides none: no mention of read-only behavior, output format, sequence selection semantics, failure modes, or side effects. The description merely restates the tool name.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very short, but it is under-specified rather than usefully concise. 'Premiere Pro expanded operation:' is generic boilerplate, and the remaining text duplicates the tool name without adding meaningful information.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With no output schema, no annotations, and a vague description, the agent has no way to know what a 'sequence structure' result contains or how it relates to similar sequence-inspection tools. This is inadequate for confident tool selection and result interpretation.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so there is no schema low-coverage burden to compensate for. With no params to explain, the description cannot add much here, and the no-parameter baseline of 4 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names the operation ('get sequence structure') and a clear resource, but 'Premiere Pro expanded operation:' is meaningless filler and the phrase 'sequence structure' is vague. It does not distinguish this tool from closely related siblings like get_full_sequence_info, list_sequence_tracks, or get_timeline_summary.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the large sibling list with overlapping sequence-inspection tools, the agent is left to guess whether this is the right call for a given task.

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