vadyu_list_sequences_and_formats

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

No annotations and no output schema, so the description carries the full burden. It partially meets that by naming the attributes returned ('beat counts, durations, and prompt best practices'), which tells the agent this is reference data rather than generated content. It does not state that the data is static, read-only, or whether any prerequisite/auth applies.

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 filler; every clause names a returned resource or attribute. Slightly dense enumeration, but nothing is wasted.

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?

With no parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description covers what the agent needs: what the tool enumerates and which fields come back. Only the ambiguity around recipes (also covered by vadyu_list_recipes) and the static/read-only nature are left unresolved.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies. There is no parameter semantics to explain and the description correctly does not invent any.

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?

The description names a specific verb ('List') and enumerates exactly what is returned: sequences/storyboards, Composable Director Recipes, audio moods, and aspect ratio formats. That is clear, but the overlap with the sibling vadyu_list_recipes (recipes are listed here too) is never addressed, so the agent cannot tell from the description alone which tool to open for recipes.

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?

No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement, nor any pointer to alternatives. Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is a discovery call to run before vadyu_generate_video_ad, but nothing in the text says so.

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