set3DLayerTransform

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Set' implies mutation, but it does not disclose whether the layer must already be a 3D layer, whether unspecified transform values are left untouched or reset, permission requirements, or reversibility. For a 10-parameter mutation tool this is a significant gap.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no waste; the parenthetical property list is efficient. It could arguably add one routing clause without bloating.

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?

The rich schema covers all 10 parameters, but with no annotations and no output schema the description should still convey mutation behavior, 3D-layer prerequisites, and layer-identification semantics (compName vs layerName vs layerIndex). It is minimally adequate rather than complete.

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 description coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented with units (degrees, 100 = 100%) and 3-element array shapes. The description only re-lists property names and adds no syntax or constraint detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Set 3D transform properties on a layer') and enumerates the exact properties it controls. It is reasonably distinguishable from siblings like setLayerProperties (2D/general) and setLayerKeyframe, though it does not name an alternative explicitly.

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 when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no indication of how this differs from setLayerProperties or setLayerKeyframe. The agent must infer that this is the 3D-specific variant on its own.

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