get_clip_links

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden of disclosing behavior. It reports nothing about side effects, read-only status, return shape, error conditions, or what 'clip links' actually represent. The phrase 'expanded operation' is opaque and adds no behavioral information.

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 short but not effectively concise: the phrase 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' is filler, and 'get clip links' merely echoes the tool name. Every piece of text should add information, but here the entire description fails to inform, making it a case of under-specification rather than useful brevity.

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 no annotations and no output schema, the description must explain what the tool returns or how it behaves. This one gives no operational context whatsoever, leaving an agent completely unable to anticipate the result of invoking get_clip_links. It is inadequate even for a zero-parameter tool.

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?

The tool has zero parameters and the schema is empty, so the description is not expected to document parameter semantics. The general 0-parameter baseline of 4 applies because there is no parameter burden to compensate for, even though the description itself adds nothing meaningful.

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 merely restates the tool name ('get clip links') and adds the generic qualifier 'Premiere Pro expanded operation,' which carries no functional meaning. It does not clearly explain what a clip link is, what 'links' refers to, or how this differs from related tools like get_linked_items or get_clip_markers.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool instead of a sibling. Given many similar-sounding tools in the list, such as get_linked_items, get_full_clip_info, or get_clip_markers, the absence of any usage context or alternative routing leaves the agent to guess.

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