Venice Video Cost Quote

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

With no annotations, the description discloses that no authentication is needed and implies it is a read-only operation. However, it doesn't detail edge cases like invalid parameters or quote accuracy.

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 concise at one sentence, covering purpose and key usage guidance. It is front-loaded and efficient, though slightly more structure could improve scannability.

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?

Given the simple tool with only 2 parameters and no output schema, the description covers core aspects: what it does, when to use it, and auth requirement. It doesn't mention the output format, which is a minor gap.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes parameters with examples. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline of 3.

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 states it gets a price quote for video generation before queuing. The verb 'Get' and resource 'price quote for a video generation' are specific and distinguishable from siblings like venice_video_generate.

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?

Explicitly says 'BEFORE queuing' and 'No authentication required,' providing clear context for when to use this tool versus alternatives like venice_video_generate.

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