get_sequence_structure

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It merely restates the name and gives no information about read-only status, return value shape, possible errors, or side effects. The 'get' in the name implies a read operation, but the description itself adds no behavioral detail.

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 short but under-specified. The phrase 'expanded operation' is vague filler, and the rest duplicates the tool name. It omits essential information rather than being concisely informative.

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?

There is no output schema and no explanation of what 'sequence structure' contains. Without annotations or return-value documentation, the description is completely inadequate for a tool that likely returns complex, nested Premiere Pro sequence data. The overlap with sibling tools further amplifies the need for detail.

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, and the schema confirms no required or optional properties. Per rubric, 0 parameters warrants a baseline of 4; there are no parameter semantics for the description to clarify.

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 essentially the tool name with spaces: 'get sequence structure' directly restates 'get_sequence_structure'. The prefix 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' adds a vague category but no functional detail about what the structure includes or how it differs from sibling tools like get_full_sequence_info or list_sequence_tracks.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many overlapping sequence-inspection siblings (get_full_sequence_info, get_sequence_settings, list_sequence_tracks, get_active_sequence), the description provides no criteria for selection.

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