clear_sequence_in_out

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It simply states the action without explaining side effects, whether it affects the active sequence, or whether it is destructive. The phrase 'expanded operation' adds no clarity.

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 front-loaded, containing only one sentence. However, the phrase 'Premiere Pro expanded operation:' is redundant and does not add value, slightly reducing the structural quality.

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?

The description is incomplete for a tool that likely operates on the active sequence. It does not specify the scope (e.g., active sequence vs. a passed parameter), nor does it clarify what 'in out' refers to. Given the simplicity, more context is needed to avoid confusion with sibling tools like 'clear_item_in_out'.

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?

There are no parameters, and the schema is empty with no descriptions needed. Per the rubric, a baseline of 4 is appropriate since there are no parameter semantics to describe.

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 the verb 'clear' and the resource 'sequence in out', which clearly indicates clearing the in/out points of a sequence. However, it does not explicitly mention 'in and out points' or distinguish from the sibling tool 'clear_item_in_out', making it slightly ambiguous in a broader context.

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 guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'set_sequence_in_out_points' or 'clear_item_in_out', nor does it mention any prerequisites or context.

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