get_project_item_info

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

No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavior, but it does not. There is no mention of return format, side effects, project state requirements, or whether the operation is read-only.

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 qualifies as under-specification rather than conciseness; it repeats the tool name and spends its only sentence on a generic 'expanded operation' phrase. There is no useful front-loaded functional information.

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 no parameters and no output schema, the tool has many sibling tools with overlapping names, so more context is needed to identify what data is returned and how it is scoped. The description provides none of this essential guidance.

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?

With zero documented parameters, the schema already covers all parameters, and the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter meanings, but no parameters exist to explain.

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 'Premiere Pro expanded operation: get project item info' simply restates the tool name and adds no functional detail. It fails to state what item info is returned, the scope (selected item, by name, ID), or how it relates to siblings such as get_item_info or get_full_project_overview.

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 versus closely named alternatives like get_item_info, list_project_items, or find_project_item_by_name. No prerequisites, sequences, or scenarios are described.

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