Adobe Firefly Video Generate

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the dependency on a browser session and manual sign-in, but does not cover failure modes, rate limits, or other behavioral traits. This adds some transparency but leaves gaps.

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 consists of two front-loaded sentences with no superfluous words. Every sentence adds essential information about the tool's purpose and prerequisite.

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?

With 9 parameters and no output schema, the description should clarify the return value (e.g., file path or URL) and explain parameter dependencies (e.g., model support for duration). It fails to address these, leaving the tool's behavior incomplete for an agent.

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?

All 9 parameters are fully described in the input schema with 100% coverage. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, which is adequate. Baseline of 3 applies.

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 clearly states the verb 'generate' and resource 'videos in Adobe Firefly', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'firefly_generate' (likely images) and 'firefly_remove_background'. It also mentions the browser session requirement, adding specificity.

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 description specifies the prerequisite of a persistent browser session with manual Adobe sign-in, guiding when to use this tool. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives, but sibling tool names provide sufficient context for differentiation.

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