After Effects MCP Server

by yohaey

get-results

Retrieve the output from the last script run in After Effects. Use this to check script results or errors after execution.

Instructions

Get results from the last script executed in After Effects

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool returns results from the last executed script, which is straightforward, but lacks details on whether results are cleared after retrieval or what happens if no script has been run. Since the tool is a simple getter with no side effects, the description is adequate but not fully transparent.

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?

The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the key action and resource. There is no extraneous information.

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 parameterless retrieval tool, the description minimally covers the purpose. However, it lacks details about return format, error handling, or behavior when no script has been executed. Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete for an agent to fully anticipate outcomes.

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?

The tool has zero parameters and 100% schema coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description does not need to add anything beyond what the schema provides, and the baseline of 4 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves results from the last script executed in After Effects. It specifies the resource (results) and the verb (get), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like run-script (which executes) and apply-effect (which applies effects).

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 (e.g., run-script, get-help). The description does not mention prerequisites (e.g., a script must have been run) 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.
