get_value_at_time

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. However, it reveals nothing about what the tool returns, side effects, or operational constraints, leaving the agent completely in the dark.

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 a single short sentence, which is structurally simple, but it is under-specified rather than concise. It lacks the essential information that a useful description must contain, so the brevity is a deficiency.

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?

With no output schema, no annotations, no helpful input schema, and a vague one-line description, the tool is completely inadequate for an agent to select or invoke correctly. It provides no context about return values, required inputs, or typical use.

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 schema defines no parameters (0 params), but the tool name implies a 'time' argument, and the schema oddly allows additional properties with no definitions. The description adds no clarification about whether arguments are needed or what they mean, failing to compensate for the ambiguous schema.

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 'Premiere Pro expanded operation: get value at time' is a tautology, restating the tool name without explaining what value is retrieved, from what resource, or how time is specified. It does not distinguish this from dozens of sibling get_* tools.

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, no prerequisites, and no context for when it is appropriate. The description is entirely missing usage instructions.

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