get_bulk_session_structure

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does disclose the shape of what is returned (tempo, scenes, tracks with clips summary, device counts) and that it is a read operation, but says nothing about response size, cost, or latency tradeoffs of a 'full' session dump.

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 the resource and payload contents stated immediately; no filler or redundancy.

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?

No output schema exists, so the description must convey return values; it partially does by listing tempo, scenes, tracks/clips summary, and device counts. It still leaves the boundary with get_session_info and get_track_structure undefined, which matters in a family this crowded.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. Nothing in the description is needed to explain parameter usage.

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 (Retrieve) and resource (full session structure) and enumerates the payload contents: tempo, scenes, tracks with clips summary and device counts. However, it offers no differentiation from close siblings like get_session_info and get_track_structure, so an agent cannot tell from the description alone which of these to pick.

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?

The phrase 'in a single batched call' implies the use case (fetch everything at once rather than making multiple granular calls), but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is given relative to get_session_info or get_track_structure.

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