Get Timeline Summary

get_timeline_summary
Read-onlyIdempotent

Generate a human-readable timeline summary: total duration, clips per track, gaps, coverage, media, effects, and markers. Understand sequence state quickly.

Instructions

Get a human-readable summary of the timeline: total duration, clip count per track, total gaps, coverage percentage, used media files, effect usage, and marker overview. Great for a quick understanding of sequence state.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The read-only, idempotent, non-destructive nature is already declared in annotations, so the description only needs to add scoping context. It does this by disclosing that the result is a human-readable summary covering duration, clips, gaps, coverage, media, effects, and markers. Nothing contradicts the annotations.

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: the first lists what the tool returns, the second states the use case. There is no filler, and the key information is front-loaded.

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 one optional parameter and an output schema present, the description together with the schema and annotations gives an agent everything needed to decide whether and how to call it. No important safety, parameter, or return information is missing.

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 optional sequence_id parameter is fully documented by the schema, including the 'active sequence if omitted' behavior. The description adds no extra parameter detail, but at 100% schema coverage the schema already carries the burden.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Get a human-readable summary of the timeline', then enumerates the exact metrics returned. This lets an agent clearly distinguish it from lower-level siblings like get_timeline_gaps or get_used_media_report.

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?

'Great for a quick understanding of sequence state' provides a clear intended use case. It does not explicitly name alternatives for raw or structured timeline data, but for a read-only overview tool this is adequate contextual guidance.

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