TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so there is no safety contradiction. The description adds behavioral context by anchoring the search at the current playhead and defining an edit point as a clip boundary. No-result behavior is not described, but the output schema likely covers that.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the action and target, with an inline parenthetical that removes ambiguity. No filler or redundant restatements of the annotations.

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 read-only tool with two optional parameters, a full input schema, and an output schema, this description is nearly complete. The only notable gap is that it does not explicitly say it does not move the playhead, which would fully disambiguate it from move_playhead_to_edit.

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 already have clear enum descriptions for direction and track_type. The description's 'next or previous' restates the direction parameter but adds no new parameter-level meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States exactly what it does: 'Find' the 'next or previous edit point (clip boundary)' relative to 'the playhead position'. The parenthetical definition of edit point and the playhead anchor clearly distinguish it from siblings like get_clip_at_position and move_playhead_to_edit.

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 playhead-relative phrasing gives clear context for when it applies, and 'find' implies a read-only query. However, it never names alternatives or exclusions, such as using move_playhead_to_edit when the playhead itself needs to move, so an agent must infer the boundary.

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