project_import_audio

Import audio files into Audacity projects to create new tracks for editing, processing, or transcription workflows.

Instructions

Import an audio file into the current project. Creates a new track.

Args: path: Absolute path to the audio file (wav, mp3, ogg, flac, etc.)

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the key behavioral trait that a 'new track' is created, which is critical state-change information. However, it omits error handling (invalid paths, unsupported formats), idempotency characteristics, or return value details.

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?

Highly efficient two-sentence description followed by structured Args documentation. Front-loaded with core purpose; no filler text. Every element earns its place.

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?

Adequate for a single-parameter tool, covering the essential action and parameter semantics. However, given the absence of annotations, output schema, and error handling documentation, the description leaves gaps regarding failure modes and success indicators.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Excellent compensation for 0% schema description coverage. Clarifies that 'path' requires an 'Absolute path' and provides concrete format examples (wav, mp3, ogg, flac). Does not specify validation rules or encoding requirements, preventing a 5.

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 specific action ('Import') and resource ('audio file') with clear side effect ('Creates a new track'). Distinguishes from sibling 'project_import_midi' implicitly through listed audio formats (wav, mp3, etc.), though explicit contrast would strengthen this.

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?

Provides implied usage guidance through the enumeration of supported audio formats, signaling when to use this tool (for wav/mp3/etc.). However, lacks explicit 'when-not-to-use' guidance or direct comparison to 'project_import_midi' despite the clear sibling relationship.

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