Get Used Media Report

get_used_media_report
Read-onlyIdempotent

Generate a report of media files used in a sequence, showing usage counts, track placement, and offline source status.

Instructions

Get a report of all media files used in a sequence: which source files are used, how many times each appears, on which tracks, and whether any sources are offline.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds meaningful behavioral context by specifying exactly what the report covers, including offline detection, which goes beyond the annotations. It does not mention potential costs or failure modes, but the output schema covers return structure and annotations cover side effects.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence that immediately identifies the tool's purpose and then compactly lists what the report contains. There is no filler or redundant restatement.

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 reporting tool with one optional parameter, full schema coverage, output schema, and strong annotations, the description covers the essential semantics: what is reported and what statuses are included. It is slightly less explicit about how the target sequence is resolved beyond the schema, but the schema already handles that, leaving no critical gap.

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 coverage is 100%, and the parameter description already explains that sequence_id is a sequence name or ID and that the active sequence is used if omitted. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond referring to 'a sequence', so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 a specific verb ('Get'), a clear resource ('report of all media files used in a sequence'), and enumerates the report's contents: source files, usage counts, tracks, and offline status. This clearly differentiates it from related siblings like get_unused_media or get_offline_media by anchoring on media usage within a sequence.

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 the tool is for analyzing media usage in a sequence and detecting offline sources, providing useful context. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives such as get_unused_media, get_offline_media, or check_offline_media, nor does it note any exclusions or prerequisites like having an active sequence.

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