Attach Custom Property

attach_custom_property

Attach a custom key/value property to the active sequence and verify it lands in the XMP packet, reporting if the property fails to persist.

Instructions

Attach a custom property (key/value pair) to the active sequence and confirm it against the sequence project item's XMP packet. Reports failure when the property never lands in XMP.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful behavioral detail: it confirms the property against the sequence project item's XMP packet and reports failure when the property does not land in XMP. This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

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 compact and front-loaded with the action and target, followed by a concise note about failure reporting. Every sentence contributes necessary information and there is no redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple two-string-parameter write operation with full schema coverage, an output schema, and safety annotations, the description provides enough operational and verification context. An agent can select and invoke this tool correctly without additional clarification.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both required parameters are fully documented in the input schema. The description only paraphrases them as 'key/value pair' and does not add meaningful semantic detail beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description states a specific action, 'Attach a custom property (key/value pair)', and names the target, 'the active sequence', plus the XMP confirmation. This clearly distinguishes it from metadata-related siblings like set_metadata and set_xmp_metadata.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives context for the operation, namely attaching to the active sequence and verifying against the XMP packet, but it does not name alternatives or state when not to use this tool. Usage guidance is therefore implied rather than explicit.

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