Set group box

set_group_box
Destructive

Set a group's backdrop rect size. The rect is centred on (pivotX, pivotY) in group-local space and transforms with the group. Either dimension at 0 hides the backdrop entirely.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
box_widthYesBackdrop width in px (non-negative).

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations, the description adds meaningful behavior: the rect is centered on (pivotX, pivotY) in group-local space, transforms with the group, and a zero dimension hides the backdrop. This does not contradict the destructiveHint or readOnlyHint flags.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the action, then two tightly-scoped behavioral details. Every clause carries information; there is no filler or restatement of the schema.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple four-parameter mutator with a full output schema and annotations covering safety, this description is complete. It covers the geometric behavior, the hide special case, and leaves element/project identification to the well-documented schema.

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 input schema already documents all four parameters with types and roles, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining how box_width and box_height relate to the pivot and group transform, and by specifying the zero-dimension hide behavior, which the schema does not convey.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Set a group's backdrop rect size.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like set_group_window or set_pivot by naming the backdrop rect as the target.

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?

The use case is implied: use this when you need to set a group's backdrop rectangle size. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over related siblings like set_group_window or set_pivot, nor does it mention prerequisites such as the group having a pivot.

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