set_midi_quantization

Adjust MIDI recording quantization to snap notes to a specific grid, from none to 8 bars.

Instructions

Set MIDI recording input quantization. 0=None, 1=8 bars, 2=4 bars, 3=2 bars, 4=1 bar, 5=1/2, 6=1/4, 7=1/8, 8=1/16

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, so description must carry full burden; it only states the action and mapping, without disclosing side effects, prerequisites, or scope (e.g., global vs. per-track).

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is short and to the point, listing values in a readable format; though it could be structured as a table or with clearer formatting.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With an output schema present (though not shown), explanation of return values is not needed; however, the description lacks any contextual details like prerequisites or scope, making it adequate but not complete.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, but description provides a complete mapping of integer values to quantization amounts, adding essential meaning beyond the raw schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Description clearly states the verb 'Set' and resource 'MIDI recording input quantization', distinguishing it from sibling tools like set_clip_quantization and quantize_clip that target clip quantization.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any context-specific usage advice; the description only provides a value mapping.

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