get_detail_clip

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the action ('Get') without disclosing behavioral traits like read-only status, error handling, or output format. It lacks details on permissions, rate limits, or what 'detail' includes, making it insufficient for a tool with zero annotation coverage.

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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. However, it could be more front-loaded with clearer purpose, but its brevity is appropriate for the simple tool name.

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 complexity implied by 'detail clip/piano roll clip', no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what 'detail' includes, the return format, or how it differs from similar tools, leaving significant gaps for an agent to understand its use.

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 has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so no parameter information is needed. The description doesn't add param semantics, but this is acceptable given the absence of parameters, aligning with the baseline for zero parameters.

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 'Get detail clip/piano roll clip' states a verb ('Get') and resource ('detail clip/piano roll clip'), but is vague about what 'detail' entails and doesn't differentiate from siblings like 'get_clip_info_by_id' or 'get_all_notes_by_clipid'. It implies retrieval of clip information but lacks specificity about scope or content.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_clip_info_by_id' or 'get_all_notes_by_clipid'. The description offers no context, exclusions, or prerequisites, leaving usage unclear relative to sibling tools.

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