fire_scene

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

The description mentions only that it fires every clip in the row, but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as whether it stops other clips, affects playback, or requires any preconditions. Annotations indicate destructiveHint=false, so no contradiction, but the description adds little beyond the action itself.

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 a single concise sentence, front-loading the core action. However, it could include more useful information without becoming verbose.

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 tool has only one required parameter and an output schema (not provided), the description is too minimal. It omits return value details, error handling, and any additional context that would help an agent understand the full scope of the tool's behavior.

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 0%, and the description provides no additional meaning for the 'scene_index' parameter beyond its name and type (integer). The tool requires this parameter, but its semantics (e.g., valid range, zero-indexed vs one-indexed) are not explained.

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 'Launch a scene (fires every clip in that row)', which specifies the verb and resource, and distinguishes it from sibling tool 'fire_clip' that fires a single clip.

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 description implies usage for firing all clips in a scene row, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like 'fire_clip' or when not to use it.

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