Behavior2/5

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. It only says 'Get warp information' without specifying what information is returned, the format of the output, or any side effects. The read-only nature is implied but not stated, and no error or edge-case behavior is mentioned.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise, with a clear purpose statement followed by a simple parameter list. Every word earns its place, and the structure is front-loaded with the action, making it easy to scan.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description should explain what 'warp information' includes and how the result is returned. It does neither, leaving significant ambiguity. The tool appears simple, but the lack of behavioral and output details makes it incomplete for an AI agent.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The description adds basic meaning to both parameters by explaining they refer to the track index and clip slot index. However, schema coverage is 0%, so the description is the only source of semantics. It lacks important details such as whether indices are zero-based or one-based, or how to obtain valid indices, so it only minimally compensates.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action and resource: 'Get warp information for an audio clip.' This is a specific verb plus resource, making the purpose evident. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool get_warp_markers, which also retrieves warp-related data, so it misses the opportunity to distinguish.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_warp_markers or set_clip_warp_mode. There is no context about appropriate scenarios, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to guess.

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