match_frame

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it reveals nothing about side effects, prerequisites, or what 'match frame' does in Premiere Pro. There is no mention of timeline effects, selection requirements, or output.

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 effective conciseness. The single sentence 'Premiere Pro expanded operation: match frame' contains no substantive content and fails to provide useful information that would earn its place.

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 no parameter details, the description must explain the tool's purpose and behavior. It does not. It is completely inadequate even for a simple operation, leaving the agent with only the name 'match_frame' to infer meaning.

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 input schema is essentially empty. Per the rubric, a baseline of 4 applies since there is no parameter information to compensate for. The description does not conflict with the schema, and no additional parameter semantics are needed.

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: match frame' names the operation but does not explain what it does. 'Expanded operation' is vague, and there's no specific verb or resource that distinguishes it from sibling tools like capture_frame or set_poster_frame. It borders on tautology.

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 provided on when to use this tool or when to prefer alternatives. It merely states the name and a generic phrase, offering no context for selection among the many timeline and frame-related tools.

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