fire_clip

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

No annotations provided. The description mentions equivalence to clicking a button, but fails to disclose effects like behavior when the clip is already playing or if the slot is empty.

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?

Single sentence, concise but too minimal. Could provide more context without being verbose.

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?

Despite the tool's simplicity, the description lacks completeness regarding behavior for edge cases (e.g., empty slot, running clip). Output schema exists but its explanation is absent.

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?

Parameters 'track_index' and 'slot_index' are not explained in the description. With 0% schema coverage, the description should add meaning but does not.

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 it launches a clip slot and uses a specific verb 'fire'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'stop_clip' and 'create_clip'.

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 like 'stop_clip' or 'create_clip'. The context of use is implied but not explicitly stated.

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