TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations exist but only convey that the operation is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that, such as whether files are copied or linked, whether duplicates are handled, or whether dialogs are suppressed (though suppress_ui appears in the schema).

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It communicates the core operation directly and every word earns its place.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the large set of sibling import tools and the presence of an output schema, the description is too thin to be fully actionable by itself. It lacks usage context, tool-selection guidance, and behavioral detail, though the schema does cover parameter semantics well.

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%, so all three parameters are already well documented in the schema. The description itself does not add parameter meaning beyond the schema, which places it at the baseline for high coverage.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Import media files into the project.' It is clear enough at a high level, but it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling import tools such as import_folder, import_image_sequence, import_sequences, or import_fcp_xml.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus the many sibling import tools. No conditions, alternatives, or exclusions are mentioned, so an agent must infer which import scenario this tool handles.

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