Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It fails to indicate whether the operation is destructive, what source or selection it uses, whether it can be undone, or any side effects. 'Expanded operation' is meaningless without elaboration.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, but it is under-specified rather than concise. Phrases like 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' add no value and do not earn their place. The entire sentence could be replaced with useful details.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and no parameter definitions, the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain what overwriting a clip does, how it affects the timeline, what the expected input or context is, or any consequences of invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema declares no parameters and the description adds no parameter information. Since there are zero parameters, the schema already covers everything, making the baseline score of 4 appropriate. The description does not need to compensate for undocumented parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'overwrite clip' essentially restates the tool name, providing no additional context about what the operation actually entails. The prefix 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' is generic filler and does not distinguish this tool from similar siblings like overwrite_from_source.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, selection requirements, or any exclusions, leaving the agent without direction for choosing this tool over related edit operations.

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