Set Override Frame Rate

set_override_frame_rate

Change a project item's frame rate to correct misinterpreted media or image sequences, then read back the applied value.

Instructions

Override the frame rate of a project item (useful for image sequences or misinterpreted media) and read it back

Input Schema

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the tool 'read[s] it back', disclosing a return/confirmation behavior beyond the annotations, though it does not explain how the override interacts with existing clip timing or whether it can be reverted.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with the core action first and a compact parenthetical that earns its place by adding use-case context. No filler or repetition.

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 tool with full schema coverage, an output schema, and annotations covering safety and idempotency, the description supplies everything needed to call it correctly. Only the interaction with existing media timing is left implicit, a minor gap given the rest of the metadata.

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 both parameters carry their own descriptions (node ID/name, example frame rates), so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no format or constraint detail beyond that, which is the expected baseline when the schema is complete.

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?

States a specific verb (Override) and resource (frame rate of a project item), and the parenthetical clarifies the exact scenario. The phrase 'project item' cleanly distinguishes it from the sibling set_sequence_frame_rate, which operates at sequence level.

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 parenthetical 'useful for image sequences or misinterpreted media' tells the agent when this tool is appropriate, which is real routing guidance. It stops short of naming alternatives or stating when not to use it (e.g. versus set_sequence_frame_rate or set_footage_interpretation), so it falls just below a 5.

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