TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

The description discloses the core behavior—breaking the link between selected video and audio clips—which goes beyond the raw annotations. It does not mention no-op behavior or error cases if no selection exists, but this is a minor gap given the tool's simplicity and destructiveHint=false.

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 contains only the essential information: the action, the object, and the context. No filler or redundant restatement of the title.

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 zero-parameter mutation with an output schema, the description gives the necessary prerequisites (a current selection in the active sequence) and the object of the action. It could add edge-case behavior (e.g., behavior when nothing is selected), but nothing essential is missing for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters and full schema coverage (100%), so there are no parameter semantics for the description to explain. Baseline 4 is appropriate; the description correctly spends no space on parameters.

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 uses a specific verb ('Unlink'), a precise object ('currently selected video and audio clips'), and a scope ('in the active sequence'). This cleanly distinguishes it from sibling tools such as link_selection, split_clip, and deselect_all_clips.

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?

Usage context is implied rather than stated: the tool should be run when selected clips in the active timeline are linked and need to be unlinked. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, though the prerequisite of a current selection is clear.

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