duplicate_clip_to_arrangement

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

No annotations provided, so the description bears full burden. It does not disclose side effects (e.g., whether the original clip remains), return values, error conditions, or permission requirements. Minimal behavioral info.

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?

Single sentence, no wasted words, clearly states the core purpose. Could benefit from more detail without losing efficiency, but remains concise.

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 4 required parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and no param descriptions, the description is severely incomplete. It lacks prerequisites, error info, index conventions, and return behavior, making it unreliable for an AI 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?

Schema coverage is 0% (no descriptions), and the description only vaguely hints at 'arrangement_time (beats)'. It fails to explain 'clip_index', 'track_index', or the 'ctx' parameter. Essential param info is missing.

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 action (duplicate), the source resource (session clip), the destination (arrangement view), and the key parameter (time in beats). It distinguishes well from siblings like 'duplicate_clip'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'duplicate_clip' or 'delete_arrangement_clip'. The description does not provide context about prerequisites or exclusions.

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