Recast motion

recast_motion

Transfer a reference video's motion to a different person or character by supplying their image. The reference clip drives movement; the image provides identity, with paid render billed per output second.

Instructions

Motion transfer: re-perform a reference video's motion with a different person/character (supply their image). The reference clip drives the movement; the image supplies the identity. Paid render, billed per output second (the output is as long as the reference clip, 3-30s); a 5s clip takes about 5 minutes. Runs on the Pro tier by default: 1080p, and the person really handles the object the reference performer handles.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations provide no safety hints, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the render is paid and billed per output second, that output length mirrors the reference clip (3-30s), gives a concrete latency example, and contrasts Pro vs standard quality and hand-object handling. This is substantial behavioral context beyond the schema.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three sentences front-load the core concept, then pack pricing, timing, and tier behavior. No filler; each clause adds information. It is dense but efficient.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 5-param tool with no output schema, the description covers the necessary call-time context: what the tool does, cost, output duration, approximate latency, and tier defaults. Nothing essential to invoking it correctly is missing.

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?

With 100% schema coverage, the schema already documents all five params. The description adds useful semantics: the reference clip's motion role, the image's identity role, piecewise billing tied to the clip length, and tier-dependent rendering differences. This surpasses the baseline for fully covered schemas.

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 opening phrase 'Motion transfer' names the exact operation, and the rest specifies the goal: re-perform a reference video's motion using a different person/character's image. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling video tools like clip_video or dub_video.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It states the input recipe (reference video drives movement, image supplies identity) and the tier choice with clear trade-offs (pro vs standard). It does not name alternative tools or exclusion conditions, but the use case is unambiguous.

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