List Clip Effects

list_clip_effects
Read-onlyIdempotent

List all effects on a clip with their properties and current values to debug effect problems. Pinpoint exactly which effect is causing issues.

Instructions

List all effects/components on a clip with their properties and current values. Essential for debugging effect issues.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the tool returns 'all' effects/components with 'current values,' which is useful scoping, but it does not disclose any additional behavioral traits such as ordering, handling of clips with no effects, or whether disabled effects are included. This is adequate given the annotations but not exceptional.

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 two short sentences with no filler. The core behavior is front-loaded in the first sentence, and the second sentence adds a practical purpose ('Essential for debugging effect issues') without redundancy.

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 simple single-parameter read-only tool with strong annotations and an output schema, the description is largely sufficient. It clearly states what is returned and the intended debugging context. It could be slightly more complete by explicitly naming related sibling tools for alternative use cases, but that gap is minor.

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%, and the node_id parameter is described as 'Node ID of the clip to inspect.' The tool description does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 and resource: 'List all effects/components on a clip with their properties and current values.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like list_available_effects, which lists available effects rather than effects on a clip, and get_effect_properties, which appears to target a specific effect.

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 phrase 'Essential for debugging effect issues' gives some usage context, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus related siblings such as list_available_effects, get_effect_properties, or remove_effect. No exclusions or alternative routing are provided, so usage guidance is mostly implied.

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