capcut_delete_segment

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

Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. 'Remove a segment' only implies mutation and does not disclose destructive effects, whether removal can affect linked segments, whether changes persist automatically, or what the operation returns. This is a meaningful transparency gap for a delete operation.

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?

The description is extremely short and free of filler, which is structurally efficient. However, the terseness crosses into under-specification: it communicates the basic action but omits essential context, so conciseness is achieved at the expense of usefulness.

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?

For a destructive two-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, this description is incomplete. It does not describe how the segment is identified, what happens after deletion, whether the change needs saving, or any constraints. The agent is left to infer most of the contract.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain that 'draft' identifies the editing context or that 'segmentId' is the target segment to remove. The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds nothing beyond the schema's names and types.

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 states a clear verb and resource: 'Remove a segment'. It is specific enough to distinguish deletion from adding, moving, trimming, or splitting a segment, though it is essentially a synonym for the tool name and does not define what type of segment is meant.

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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention selecting the segmentId from the timeline, whether the operation is reversible, or how deletion relates to save/discard workflows. The agent must infer usage entirely from the tool name.

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