cw_set_track_solo

Toggles a track's solo state through its track strip and reports the verified result; requires an open project with the track visible.

Instructions

Solo or unsolo a track, through the track strip's 独奏 button. Reports verified from the value read back. Needs a project open and the track visible.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose two useful traits: the prerequisite state and that it reports a `verified` value read back from the DAW. It does not say whether the change is reversible/undoable or what happens if the track index is invalid.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action, then the verification behavior, then the precondition. No filler, though the embedded Chinese button label '独奏' is a minor clarity oddity.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a two-param mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers prerequisites and the `verified` readback, but leaves the `index` parameter and the shape of the reported result under-explained.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. The verb implies the meaning of `solo` (true=solo, false=unsolo), but `index` — presumably a 1-based track index — is never explained, and neither param is clarified.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb (solo/unsolo) and resource (track), clearly distinct from sibling setters like cw_set_track_mute and cw_set_track_arm. It does not explicitly contrast itself with those siblings, but the action is unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

It gives prerequisites ("Needs a project open and the track visible"), which is real usage context, but it offers no when-to-use vs alternatives guidance or exclusions relative to the mute/arm siblings.

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