TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The destructiveHint annotation already communicates that this operation is destructive, and the description does not contradict it. The description adds the active-sequence scoping constraint, but it does not disclose what happens to the track's contents (e.g., whether clips on that track are also deleted) or any preconditions.

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 a single focused sentence with no filler or repetition of the schema. It states the action, target, and scope efficiently, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple two-parameter destructive operation with a full input schema and an output schema, the description is largely complete. The main gap is that it does not mention the side effects on clips contained in the deleted track, which would be useful for an agent reasoning about consequences.

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%, and both parameters have clear descriptions including the track_type enum and the 0-based track_index. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 uses a specific verb ('Delete'), a precise resource ('video or audio track'), and a clear scope ('from the active sequence'). This naturally distinguishes it from sibling tools like delete_sequence, delete_bin, and remove_from_timeline without requiring the agent to open schemas.

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 intended usage is implied: use this when you need to delete a video or audio track from the active sequence. However, the description gives no explicit when-not-to-use guidance and names no alternatives, even though siblings like add_track, list_sequence_tracks, and delete_sequence exist.

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