rename_clip

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. It only restates the tool's basic function and gives no information about scope, effects on references, undoability, or whether it operates on selections or requires an explicit clip ID.

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 (one sentence) but includes the filler 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' which does not earn its place. It is not wordy, but it is under-specified rather than efficiently concise.

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 the lack of annotations and an uninformative schema, the description is far from complete. It does not address return values, side effects, selection context, or how the rename is applied, making it insufficient for reliable tool invocation.

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 input schema is an open object with no defined properties (0 parameters), so the description should clarify expected inputs, such as clip ID and new name. It does not, leaving the schema uninterpretable and the agent without essential invocation details.

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 clearly states the action ('rename') and resource ('clip'), which distinguishes it from track/bin renaming tools. However, the phrase 'expanded operation' is vague and adds little clarity, and it does not differentiate from closely related operations like batch_rename_clips or rename_project_item.

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 such as batch_rename_clips or rename_project_item. No prerequisites, contexts, or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent to guess the appropriate scenario.

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