TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate this is not a read-only or destructive operation. The description adds that the operation toggles frame blending and is performed 'Uses QE DOM,' which is a minimal extra context. It does not disclose side effects, prerequisites, or failure modes, but for a simple boolean setter the existing annotations lower the bar.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and front-loaded, stating the core action in the first sentence. The second sentence, 'Uses QE DOM,' is a compact implementation hint, though its value is limited without further explanation. Overall, it is concise and free of filler.

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 boolean setter with a complete schema, annotations, and an output schema, the description is largely sufficient. It names the target resource and the operation. It could be more complete by mentioning clip compatibility or what 'QE DOM' implies, but those are not essential for basic invocation.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage: 'enabled' is described as 'True to enable frame blending, false to disable' and 'node_id' as 'Node ID of the clip.' The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already includes.

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?

The description clearly states the operation: 'Enable or disable frame blending on a clip.' This is a specific verb and resource, and 'frame blending' distinguishes it from sibling tools like set_blend_mode or set_time_interpolation. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from related clip-property setters beyond the resource name.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as set_time_interpolation or set_clip_properties. It only states what the tool does, with no context about prerequisites, exclusions, or which scenario should route to this tool over another.

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