Reads and analyzes Ableton Live project files (.als), extracting device chains, return tracks, and routing information to study production styles.
Single tool with basic schema and description, but significant quality gaps. Tool name 'analyze_ableton_project' is verb-noun compliant. Description (156 chars) is present but contains a typo ('styudy' → 'study') and lacks actionable context on when/why to use it. Input schema uses Zod with proper type and description for file_path parameter. However, output schema is completely undocumented, LLM cannot predict return structure. Error handling returns isError flag but provides no recovery guidance. No parameter validation (file existence, .als extension check) visible in tool code. No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.). Overall: minimal viable definition, well below production baseline.
Reads an Ableton Live project file (.als) and extracts the device chains,return tracks, and routing. Use this to styudy the user's previous production styles.
Output schema completely undocumented. Tool returns JSON structure with 'filename', 'tempo', 'tracks', 'returnTracks' fields, but LLM has no visibility into this structure. Prevents downstream tool chaining and forces LLM to guess field names.
Description contains typo ('styudy' should be 'study') and lacks WHEN/WHY context. Does not explain when to call this vs other analysis tools, what prerequisites exist, or what the user should do with results. Baseline: 194 chars avg, 50-200 chars optimal for LLM selection.
No input validation visible. Tool accepts file_path string but does not validate file existence, .als extension, or file readability before attempting parse. Errors are caught but error messages ('Error analyzing file: ...') lack actionable recovery guidance per pattern:recovery-guide.

No tool annotations. Tool is read-only (risk: READ_ONLY declared) but lacks readOnlyHint annotation in schema. Prevents LLM from understanding safety profile without reading description.
Parameter description for file_path includes example value ('/Users/name/Music/Project/project.als'). Use format constraint instead.
