Import from URL

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states the basic action and does not disclose behavioral traits such as download mechanism, processing time, rate limits, or handling of duplicate URLs. This is insufficient for a tool that likely involves significant backend operations.

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 a single, efficient sentence that conveys the tool's purpose, scope, and destination without waste. Every word earns its place.

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 schema richness (100% parameter descriptions) and lack of output schema, the description is adequate for explaining what the tool does. However, it lacks information on success criteria, error states, or performance characteristics, leaving gaps for an agent needing deeper context.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes all parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. For example, 'url' is covered by the schema's 'Social media video URL' and 'tags' by 'Comma-separated tags'. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 verb 'import' and the resource 'video from a social media URL', specifying the destination and purpose (directly into your VideoSeek library for indexing and analysis). It distinguishes from siblings like 'upload_video' and 'import_by_creator'.

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?

The description provides context on when to use (when you have a social media URL from platforms like TikTok, YouTube, etc.) but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives. Guidance is implied but not comparative.

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