TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description discloses the key behavioral outcome: content is removed from the timeline but a gap is left behind. This adds meaningful context beyond the annotations, which only indicate that the tool is not read-only and not flagged destructive. It does not mention prerequisites or error cases, but the core behavior is transparent.

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 or redundant wording. The parenthetical clarification 'remove without closing gap' efficiently adds crucial distinguishing meaning.

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 zero-parameter tool with an output schema, the description is sufficiently complete: it states the action, the target content, and the resulting gap behavior. It could be slightly more explicit about prerequisites such as an active sequence or having either an in/out range or a selection, but those are reasonably implied.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, so there are no parameter details to explain. Per the baseline for no-parameter tools, the description appropriately focuses on the operation itself rather than parameter semantics.

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 uses a specific verb ('Lift') with an explicit resource ('content between sequence in/out points or selected clips') and clarifies the defining behavior ('remove without closing gap'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling operations like extract_selection or ripple_delete, which do close the gap.

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 provides clear context for when to use the tool: when targeting sequence in/out points or selected clips. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool, relying instead on the implied contrast of 'without closing gap.'

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