video_overview_create

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the confirm requirement but does not indicate whether this is a long-running async operation, whether it consumes credits, or what happens on failure. The lack of any note about side effects or expected behavior leaves the agent under-informed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler words. It is concise and readable, though the parenthetical 'requires confirm=true' feels slightly appended rather than integrated. Still, it earns a high score for efficiency.

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

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having 7 parameters and no output schema, the description provides no information about return values, how to retrieve the generated video, or whether generation is synchronous with the response. For a complex creation tool, this is a significant omission that leaves the agent guessing about the tool's behavior.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all seven parameters. The description adds no parameter-specific context beyond the confirm hint, resulting in a baseline 3 as it neither enhances nor detracts from schema-provided semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Generate a video overview' clearly identifies the action and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like audio_overview_create and infographic_create. However, it does not elaborate on what a video overview entails, so it stops short of a full 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The only usage guidance is 'requires confirm=true', which is a prerequisite rather than a when-to-use instruction. It does not specify when to choose this tool over alternatives like audio_overview_create or report_create, nor does it mention any preconditions beyond confirmation.

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