inspect_dom_object

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and 'inspect dom object' provides only a weak implication of read-only behavior. It does not state whether the operation mutates state, requires a running Premiere Pro session, returns a result, or could fail, so the agent has insufficient information about the tool's actual behavior.

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 extremely short, but brevity here is under-specification rather than conciseness. The sentence mostly repeats the tool name and adds the generic phrase 'expanded operation', neither of which earns its place by conveying useful 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?

There is no output schema, no annotations, and no explanation of what 'dom object' means, what the agent should do with the result, or how this relates to the many sibling tools. The definition is too incomplete for an agent to confidently select or invoke this tool, though the zero required parameters slightly reduce the risk of calling it incorrectly.

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 input schema defines zero parameters and all schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline for zero parameters applies. The description adds no parameter detail, but none is required because there are no named parameters to document, even though the permissive additionalProperties: true leaves some ambiguity about possible ad hoc arguments.

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 says 'inspect dom object', which is effectively a restatement of the tool name 'inspect_dom_object'. The phrase 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' adds domain context but does not explain what 'dom object' refers to or what inspection accomplishes, so it remains a tautology rather than a clear purpose.

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 indication of when to use this tool versus any sibling tool. No alternatives are named, no conditions are given, and no workflow context is provided, leaving the agent to guess whether this is a debug utility, an inspection read, or something else entirely.

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