Preview Mogrt Premiere Handoff

preview_mogrt_premiere_handoff

Read-onlyIdempotent

Preview a contained MOGRT import into a named disposable Premiere verification sequence and empty video track without contacting Premiere or altering an existing sequence.

Instructions

Preview a contained MOGRT import into one explicitly named disposable Premiere verification sequence and empty video track. It does not contact Premiere or alter a sequence.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`mogrt_path`	Yes	Existing workspace-contained MOGRT artifact.
`sequence_id`	Yes	Exact Premiere sequence identifier to recheck before import.
`start_seconds`	No	Insertion start time in seconds; defaults to 0.
`idempotency_key`	No	Optional client-chosen key (1-128 chars of A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ : -) for this intended edit. Pass a fresh key per edit and reuse it only when retrying that same edit, for example after a client-side timeout. A repeat with the same tool, key and arguments is not run again: while the first call is running it fails with IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS (poll get_last_operations); after it finished it returns the original outcome marked replayed. A definite failure with nothing applied (receipt outcome not_applied) may be retried with the same key. Reusing a key with different arguments fails with IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED. Scoped to this MCP session (the stdio server process or one HTTP session) and held in memory only (200 keys, 1 hour); it does not survive a restart or reconnect. Read-only invocations are never deduplicated.
`audio_track_index`	No	Audio track index passed to Premiere; defaults to 0.
`video_track_index`	No	Empty video track index for the imported MOGRT; defaults to 0.
`expected_cep_target`	No	Optional reviewed CEP sequence/clip identity and exact tick ranges. Checked before every generated command; UXP refuses this CEP-only guard.
`expected_project_path`	No	Optional absolute saved-project path. Every generated CEP command refuses before its body when the active project differs or is unsaved. UXP commands refuse this CEP-only guard; local-only tools do not inspect Premiere. Omit to keep existing behavior.
`approved_workspace_path`	Yes	Absolute operator-approved workspace root.
`disposable_sequence_name`	Yes	Must begin with 'MOGRT Verify - '.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`ok`	Yes	Whether the tool completed successfully.
`data`	No	Tool-specific result data when ok is true; on failure, diagnostic detail when the tool provides it.
`tool`	Yes	The registered MCP tool name.
`error`	No	Failure detail when ok is false.
`receipt`	No	Versioned common mutation receipt; success never implies rendered verification.
`idempotency`	No	Present when idempotency_key deduplicated this call: replayed is true when the original outcome was returned instead of running again.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is known. The description adds the non-obvious fact that it does not contact Premiere at all (not merely non-mutating), which is a real behavioral distinction beyond the annotations. Return shape is covered by the output 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?

Two tight sentences with zero waste; the non-mutation constraint is front-loaded immediately after the purpose so the agent gets the safe-to-call signal before anything else.

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?

With 10 parameters, nested objects, 100% schema coverage, and an output schema, the description covers what an agent needs at a high level: what it does, what it targets, and that it touches nothing. It stops short of clarifying the relationship to the apply counterpart, which is the one real gap given the sibling set.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description loosely maps to a few parameters ('contained' MOGRT path, 'explicitly named' disposable sequence, 'empty video track'), but adds no format or constraining detail beyond what the schema already documents.

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?

States a specific verb (preview) and resource (MOGRT import handoff into a disposable verification sequence/track), and the second sentence disambiguates that no Premiere contact or sequence mutation occurs. It never names apply_mogrt_premiere_handoff as the counterpart, so sibling routing is left implicit.

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 'does not contact Premiere or alter a sequence' line implies this is the safe dry-run to use before a real handoff, and that it targets a disposable verification sequence. But it names no alternative tool and gives no explicit when/when-not conditions, leaving the agent to infer the preview-then-apply workflow.

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