Stabilize Clip

stabilize_clip

Applies Warp Stabilizer to a clip to reduce camera shake and correct shaky video footage using QE DOM.

Instructions

Apply the Warp Stabilizer effect to a clip for video stabilization. Uses QE DOM.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
methodNoStabilization method (default: 'Subspace Warp')
node_idYesNode ID of the clip to stabilize
smoothnessNoStabilization smoothness percentage (default: 50). Higher = smoother but more cropping.

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

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the mutation profile is covered by structured data. The only added behavioral note is the cryptic 'Uses QE DOM', which is not explained in terms of what it means for the agent (e.g., undoability, analysis/render time, or required clip state).

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?

Two short sentences with the core action front-loaded; nothing is padded. The trailing 'Uses QE DOM' is the only questionable fragment, since it conveys little without explanation.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

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 not be described, and annotations cover the safety profile. Still, for a non-idempotent clip-mutating tool, the description omits any workflow context (e.g., clip state requirements or the QE DOM reliability caveat), leaving it only minimally adequate.

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 each parameter (method, node_id, smoothness) is documented in the schema with defaults and trade-offs. The description adds nothing about parameters, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb ('Apply') and a specific effect ('Warp Stabilizer') on a clip, which is clearly distinct from the generic sibling apply_effect and from inspect_stabilizer_status. However, it never names those siblings or otherwise differentiates itself from them explicitly.

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?

No when-to-use, when-not-to-use, prerequisites, or alternatives are given. An agent getting a stabilizer request has no guidance on whether to call this versus apply_effect or to check inspect_stabilizer_status first.

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