set_project_scratch_disk

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

No annotations are provided, so the description alone must disclose side effects, prerequisites, and result behavior. It only says 'set', implying mutation, but does not explain whether the existing scratch disk is overwritten, whether it applies immediately, or whether confirmation is returned.

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 and front-loaded, but 'Premiere Pro expanded operation' adds little value and feels like filler. It is still easy to scan.

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, no output schema, and an open input schema, the tool is under-specified. Missing behavioral details, argument requirements, and relationship to sibling tools leave significant gaps for an agent trying to use it correctly.

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 is an empty object with additionalProperties true, so no concrete parameter keys or formats are defined. The description does not name expected arguments such as a disk path or disk identifier, leaving the agent unable to construct a valid invocation.

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 identifies the verb and resource: 'set project scratch disk'. However, it does not distinguish this from closely related sibling tools like set_scratch_disk_path or get_project_scratch_disks, and the phrase 'expanded operation' is vague boilerplate.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives. An agent cannot tell whether to prefer this over set_scratch_disk_path or how it relates to get_project_scratch_disks.

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