Behavior3/5

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

The description discloses the basic behavior (toggle warping) but lacks details on side effects, permissions, or what warping entails. Since no annotations exist, the description carries the burden, but the simple toggle action is adequately conveyed without misleading information.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence that is direct and concise. Every word is necessary, and the action is front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple boolean set tool, the description is minimal but lacks definition of 'warping' and its implications. Given the complexity of other sibling tools and the existence of an output schema, the description does not provide enough context for an agent to understand the tool's role.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema coverage and three parameters, the description fails to explain the meaning or purpose of track_index, clip_index, and warping. It only names 'warping' without context, leaving the agent without necessary parameter semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's action (enable/disable) and resource (warping on an audio clip). It distinguishes from sibling tools like set_clip_warp_mode, which sets the warp mode rather than toggling it.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like set_clip_warp_mode. No prerequisites or context for warping are provided, making it unclear when a user should choose this tool.

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