get_qe_clip_info

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It states nothing about what 'qe' means, whether the operation is read-only, what information is returned, or any side effects. The description offers no behavioral context whatsoever.

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 but this is under-specification rather than conciseness. The single sentence merely repeats the tool name and does not earn its place by adding any useful information.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and many sibling tools with similar names, this description is severely incomplete. An agent would be unable to determine what a 'qe clip' is, what info is returned, or how this differs from other clip-info tools.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The schema defines no actual properties, and the description does not need to explain parameter meanings. The absence of parameters makes this dimension irrelevant.

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 is a tautology, restating the tool name 'get qe clip info' without adding a specific verb or clarifying what a 'qe clip' is. It does not distinguish this tool from numerous siblings like get_clip_info, get_full_clip_info, get_item_info, or get_clip_properties.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The phrase 'expanded operation' is vague and provides no context for choosing this tool over similar clip-info retrieval tools.

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