Set Sequence Pixel Aspect Ratio

set_sequence_pixel_aspect_ratio

Change the pixel aspect ratio of the active sequence using a ratio string, and return a capability error if the legacy host lacks a writable setting.

Instructions

Change the pixel aspect ratio of the active sequence, or return a capability error when the legacy host does not expose a writable setting.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ratioYesPixel aspect ratio string (for example '1.0' for square pixels or '1.4222' for 16:9 DV).

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYesWhether the tool completed successfully.
dataNoTool-specific result data when ok is true; on failure, diagnostic detail when the tool provides it.
toolYesThe registered MCP tool name.
errorNoFailure detail when ok is false.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false already declaring this as a non-destructive write, the description adds real value by disclosing the legacy-host failure mode — it returns a capability error rather than silently failing. It stops short of saying whether the change is undoable or whether it affects existing clips.

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 compact sentence that front-loads the primary action and appends the failure condition. No filler, nothing to trim.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and annotations cover the safety profile. The description closes the main remaining gap by explaining the error path; only undo/scope details for a mutation are absent.

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 the schema already gives format examples ('1.0', '1.4222'), so the description adds nothing about the ratio parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate for a single fully-documented parameter.

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?

Names a precise verb (Change) and resource (pixel aspect ratio of the active sequence), so the operation is unmistakable. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the near-sibling set_override_pixel_aspect_ratio, which an agent could plausibly confuse with it.

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 states what happens but never says when to reach for this tool versus set_override_pixel_aspect_ratio, set_sequence_resolution, or set_sequence_frame_rate. No prerequisites or exclusions are given, leaving the agent to infer routing from the name alone.

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