Get Map Selection

get_map_selection
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the most recent committed selection on an open map session (map_session_id): part_layer, part_ids, and selection_task_id when the selection came from request_part_selection. Covers selections the person started from the map legend. realign takes these part_ids as moves with a leaf territory_id.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the bar is lower; the description still adds real value by specifying that only the most recent *committed* selection is returned (drafts/in-progress excluded) and by explaining how part_ids feed realign. It omits what happens when no committed selection exists.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core behavior, then scope, then downstream consumer. No filler; every sentence carries information.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With an output schema present and only one parameter, the description is close to sufficient: it covers origin of selections, the returned fields, and cross-tool usage with realign. The one gap is the empty-result / no-committed-selection case, which an agent may need to handle.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter is already documented as an open msess_ id from get_map_visualization, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description only restates the parameter name and adds no format or validation detail beyond it.

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 and resource ("Returns the most recent committed selection on an open map session") and enumerates the returned fields (part_layer, part_ids, selection_task_id). It implicitly scopes itself to map-legend-originated selections, which hints at a boundary with get_part_selection, but never names that sibling.

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?

"Covers selections the person started from the map legend" implies context of use, and the realign sentence hints at the downstream workflow. However, it never states when to prefer get_part_selection or get_map_visualization instead, so an agent must infer the routing.

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