Set Uniform Scale

set_uniform_scale

Link or unlink scale width and height on a clip's Motion effect. Use this to keep proportions locked or set independent dimensions.

Instructions

Toggle uniform scale on a clip's Motion effect. When enabled, Scale Width and Scale Height are linked.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
node_idYesNode ID of the clip
uniformYestrue for uniform (linked), false for non-uniform (independent width/height)

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYesWhether the tool completed successfully.
dataNoTool-specific result data when ok is true.
toolYesThe registered MCP tool name.
errorNoFailure detail when ok is false.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description clarifies that the operation targets the Motion effect and that enabling uniform mode links width and height, which goes beyond the readOnly/destructive hints. It does not discuss side effects on existing scale values or keyframes, but for a simple boolean setter the core behavior is transparent.

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?

Two short sentences, no filler, with the core action front-loaded. Every word contributes to the tool's purpose or effect.

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 an output schema and clear annotations, the description and schema together provide enough information to invoke the tool correctly. It does not explicitly disambiguate from set_scale_width_height, but this is not essential to making the call.

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 the parameters are already documented: node_id identifies the clip and uniform expresses linked versus independent scale. The description echoes the linked/independent concept but adds little semantic value beyond the schema.

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 and resource: toggling uniform scale on a clip's Motion effect. It also explains the observable behavior — Scale Width and Scale Height become linked — which distinguishes it from value-setting siblings like set_scale_width_height.

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?

The intended use is implied by the description: use this when you want to link or unlink a clip's scale dimensions. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance and does not mention alternatives such as set_scale_width_height or set_clip_scale.

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