Roll Edit

roll_edit

Adjust an edit point by rolling the outgoing cut of a clip, shifting both visible edges and source in/out points while verifying all four positions.

Instructions

Perform a verified roll edit at the outgoing cut of a clip using the public timeline DOM, moving both visible edges and their source in/out points and verifying all four.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate a read-write, non-idempotent, non-destructive operation. The description adds useful behavioral detail: it is a 'verified' edit that moves visible edges and source in/out points and verifies all four. It stops short of describing failure/rollback behavior, but the verification guarantee adds value beyond the annotations.

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 entire description is one dense sentence with no filler. It front-loads the operation ('Perform a verified roll edit'), states the location, and then describes the mechanism and verification in a compact, information-rich way.

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 two-parameter edit operation with an output schema and full parameter descriptions, the description covers the operation, target location, and verification semantics. It does not explicitly spell out prerequisites such as requiring an active sequence or sufficient trim handles, but the core invocation context is present and the output schema reduces the need to describe return values.

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 node_id and offset_seconds are already documented with direction semantics. The description reinforces that the operation applies at the outgoing cut but adds no significant parameter-level information beyond what the schema provides, making the baseline 3 appropriate.

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 names a specific operation ('roll edit'), targets the outgoing cut of a clip, and describes the concrete effect: moving both visible edges and their source in/out points and verifying all four. This clearly distinguishes it from related tools like slip_edit, which moves source points without changing the visible cut.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear context for when to use it: a verified roll edit at a clip's outgoing cut. The mention of moving visible edges and source in/out points implies it is the right operation when a true roll is needed rather than a slip or ripple edit, though it does not explicitly name alternative tools or exclusion conditions.

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