fusion_clip_create

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

No annotations provided, but description is too short to disclose any behavioral traits such as whether original clips are modified, timeline impact, or necessary permissions.

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?

Extremely concise but at the cost of completeness; one sentence does not provide enough information for correct usage.

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 output schema and minimal description, the tool definition is insufficient for an agent to understand input requirements or expected behavior.

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?

Single parameter 'item_handles' is not explained beyond its type and requirement; schema coverage is 0% and description adds no context about what values it expects (e.g., clip IDs).

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?

Description 'Turn timeline clips into a Fusion clip' clearly states the action (turn) and resource (timeline clips), and distinguishes from sibling tools like insert_fusion_composition that create new Fusion compositions.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions provided.

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