Get Sequence Structure

get_sequence_structure
Read-onlyIdempotent

Get a complete structural overview of the active sequence: tracks, clips, positions, gaps, and metadata, to understand timeline state before edits.

Instructions

Get a complete structural overview of the active sequence: all tracks, all clips with positions, gaps, and clip metadata. Essential for understanding timeline state before making edits.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the result is a complete overview including gaps and metadata, but does not disclose return format, pagination, or error behavior; with an output schema present this is adequate but not rich.

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 sentences, no waste, front-loaded with the core action and scope. The second sentence adds usage context efficiently.

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 read-only tool with full schema coverage, rich annotations, and an output schema, the description is complete enough. It tells the agent what it returns and when to use it, and the missing return-format details are covered by the output schema.

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 the single optional sequence_id parameter is documented in the schema as accepting a name or ID with fallback to the active sequence. The description adds no parameter details beyond that baseline.

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 (Get) and resource (sequence structure), and enumerates the output scope: tracks, clips with positions, gaps, metadata. This clearly separates it from settings-oriented or summary-oriented siblings, but it does not explicitly name an alternative tool to route against.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives a clear usage context: 'Essential for understanding timeline state before making edits.' This tells the agent when to call it, but there is no when-not guidance and no explicit alternative named.

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