set_clip_warp_mode

Changes the warp mode of an audio clip in Ableton Live, using track and clip indices to target the clip and selecting from beats, tones, texture, repitch, complex, or complex_pro.

Instructions

Set the warp mode of an audio clip.

Parameters:

  • track_index: The index of the track

  • clip_index: The index of the clip slot

  • warp_mode: Warp mode (beats, tones, texture, repitch, complex, complex_pro)

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure, but it only states the action without any side effects, preconditions, or reversibility information. For a mutation tool, this is a significant omission.

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 minimal, using one sentence for the purpose and a concise list for parameters. No filler or redundant content, so it earns a high score.

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?

The tool is a simple setter, but with no annotations and no output schema, the description should cover prerequisites, side effects, and perhaps the meaning of warp mode choices. It only covers basic operation and parameter labels, leaving gaps for an agent to safely invoke the tool.

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?

Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description is the sole source of parameter meaning. It identifies all three parameters and provides enum values for warp_mode, but it does not explain the semantics of each warp mode or indexing conventions (e.g., zero-based vs one-based).

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses the specific verb 'Set' and identifies the resource as 'the warp mode of an audio clip.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like set_clip_fade_in or add_warp_marker, which target different aspects of clips.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks exclusions or references to any sibling tools, leaving the agent to infer usage from the function name alone.

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