Export As Fcp Xml

export_as_fcp_xml

Export the active sequence as a Final Cut Pro XML file. Fails if no file is written or a pre-existing output remains unchanged.

Instructions

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the write nature is covered. The description adds non-obvious context by specifying the failure condition: it errors when Premiere writes no file or leaves an existing output unchanged, which tells the agent how success is detected. It could say more about overwrite behavior, but this is solid added value.

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?

Two tight sentences: purpose first, then the failure semantics. No filler, nothing repeated from structured fields, well front-loaded.

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 one-parameter export tool with an output schema and safety annotations, the description covers what is produced, what is exported, and how failure manifests. The only material omission is guidance on when this format is preferred over sibling exporters, which overlaps the usage dimension.

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?

The single output_path parameter is fully documented in the schema (100% coverage), including an example path, so the description need not explain it. It adds no parameter detail, which is the expected baseline when the schema does the work.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb and resource (export the active sequence) plus the concrete output format (Final Cut Pro XML file), which implicitly separates it from export_aaf, export_sequence_edl, and export_omf. It does not, however, explicitly position itself against those siblings, so it falls short of the top bar.

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?

The description never states when to choose this export over the many sibling exporters (export_sequence_edl, export_aaf, export_as_project) or notes its relationship to import_fcp_xml for roundtrip workflows. Usage is only inferable from the format name, matching the calibration's 'no guidance' tier.

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