TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations only assert that the operation is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive. The description adds no further behavioral detail such as whether the import is recursive, whether a bin is created, how duplicates are handled, or what happens on unsupported files. This is a meaningful gap for a mutating tool.

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 description is one efficient sentence with no filler, and the key information (action, resource, destination) is front-loaded. It is appropriately sized for a simple one-parameter tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter tool with an output schema, the description is minimally viable for invocation, but it omits important contextual details such as supported media types, recursion behavior, destination bin, and how it differs from the many sibling import tools. This leaves the agent to infer selection criteria.

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 schema provides 100% coverage for the single folder_path parameter with a clear description. The tool description does not add extra parameter context, but the baseline of 3 applies because the schema already documents the only parameter adequately.

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?

The description clearly states a specific action ('Import'), a resource ('an entire folder of media'), and a destination ('into the project'). It is more informative than the title and implies a distinction from single-file import tools, though it does not explicitly name any sibling tool.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is given about when to choose this tool over siblings such as import_media, import_image_sequence, import_sequences, or import_ae_comps. The phrase 'entire folder' is the only implicit cue, and no exclusions or conditions are stated.

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