fcp_open_library

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

No annotations present; description only states the action without behavioral details like error handling, side effects, or whether it sets the active library. For a mutation tool, more transparency expected.

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?

Extremely concise; purpose stated first; args listed but adds no value beyond schema. Could be more structured but earns its brevity.

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?

Adequate for a simple open operation with one parameter; output schema exists so return values are covered. However, could mention that it makes the library active for subsequent operations.

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?

Parameter 'library_path' description is 'Path to .fcpbundle file' which merely restates the property title 'Library Path' from schema. Adds no additional semantics like format constraints or required permissions.

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 verb 'Open' and resource 'FCP library file'. Distinguishes from siblings like fcp_get_libraries which lists libraries. However, could be more specific about it being a Final Cut Pro library.

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 usage context provided; does not mention when to use or not use, no alternatives mentioned. Does not indicate prerequisites like library existence or effects on current state.

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