Extract Selection

extract_selection

Remove the video between sequence in and out points and close the resulting gap in the Premiere Pro timeline. This clears unwanted segments without leaving empty space.

Instructions

Extract (remove and close gap) the content between sequence in/out points.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description clearly discloses that the tool removes content and closes the resulting gap, which is more specific behavioral information than the annotations alone provide. The destructiveHint:false is not contradicted because the removal is a normal editing operation within the timeline context. It could add more detail about undoability or selection side effects, but for a no-parameter operation this is solid.

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 entire description is a single, well-structured sentence. It front-loads the action, clarifies the key behavioral nuance (remove and close gap), and specifies the scope without any filler or redundancy.

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 zero-parameter editing command with an output schema present, the description provides enough information for an agent to invoke the tool correctly. It clearly states what is extracted and how the timeline is affected. A small gap is that it does not explicitly mention that it operates on the active sequence, but 'sequence in/out points' strongly implies this context.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, so parameter semantics are inherently simple. The description correctly identifies the operation's implicit inputs (sequence in/out points), compensating for the empty schema. No additional parameter documentation is needed.

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 names a specific action (Extract) and immediately clarifies the behavior as 'remove and close gap', which distinguishes it from related operations like lift_selection (remove but leave gap). It also identifies the exact resource: content between sequence in/out points.

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 implies usage by describing the operation's scope ('between sequence in/out points'), but it does not explicitly state when to choose Extract over alternatives such as lift_selection or ripple_delete. The parenthetical helps differentiate behavior but provides no direct when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance.

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