Set Clip Rotation

set_clip_rotation

Set the rotation angle of a video clip in Premiere Pro by providing its node ID and degrees. Adjusts the Motion effect's Rotation property for precise orientation.

Instructions

Set the Rotation property on a video clip's Motion effect.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a mutating operation, and the description adds the useful scoping detail that the action targets the clip's Motion effect rather than an arbitrary effect. It does not disclose overwrite or keyframe behavior, but that is less critical given the low-risk annotation profile.

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?

One short, focused sentence with no filler. The target property and context are front-loaded, and every word contributes 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 simple two-parameter setter with complete schema coverage, annotations, and an output schema, the description is largely sufficient. The only notable gap is the absence of explicit routing to or away from more general effect/property tools, but this is a minor issue for such a narrow operation.

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 the schema already fully documents node_id and degrees. The description adds no new parameter-level detail beyond tying the property to the Motion effect, which is enough for the baseline score of 3.

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 verb ('Set'), an exact property ('Rotation'), and a precise container ('video clip's Motion effect'). This cleanly differentiates the tool from siblings like set_clip_scale, set_clip_anchor_point, and set_clip_position.

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?

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor any mention of alternatives such as set_effect_property or set_clip_properties. The intended use is implied by the name and the phrase 'Motion effect,' but an agent is left to infer it.

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