Open Blender workspace

open_blender_view
DestructiveIdempotent

In MCP Apps chats, call open_blender_view at the start of scene work if no workspace is open. The panel is for the user and updates itself. Do not reopen it after each command; inspect results with scene/screenshot tools. Open the interactive Blender Bridge workspace in a chat host that supports MCP Apps: connection and computer selection, scene previews, checkpoint history, project files and operation progress. Does not launch Blender or execute scene code. A connection scope or an already accepted shared route may be selected. Use get_connection for text-only connection state, open_blender to launch Blender, or take_screenshot for a fresh image.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description adds real behavioral context beyond annotations: the panel is user-facing and self-updating, it does not launch Blender or execute scene code, and a connection scope or accepted shared route may be implicitly selected. However, it never explains the destructiveHint=true annotation, which is surprising for a UI-opening tool and is the one piece of behavior an agent would most want clarified.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The critical instruction (call at start, don't reopen) is front-loaded, and the trailing sentences cover scope and exclusions. It is somewhat long and the feature enumeration plus title-like opening sentence edge toward redundancy, but nothing is off-topic.

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?

For a zero-parameter, no-output-schema tool this covers purpose, prerequisites, lifecycle guidance, and sibling routing. The gaps are minor: what happens on a host without MCP Apps support (error vs. fallback) and why the invocation is marked destructive.

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?

There are zero parameters, so there is no schema meaning to add. The note that a connection scope or already accepted shared route may be selected usefully explains how routing is resolved without input, though it is slightly vague about where that state comes from.

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 gives a specific verb and resource — open the interactive Blender Bridge workspace in a chat host that supports MCP Apps — and enumerates its contents (connection/computer selection, scene previews, checkpoints, project files, progress). It explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings: open_blender launches Blender, get_connection reports text-only state, take_screenshot produces an image.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It states exactly when to call (at the start of scene work, if no workspace is open), when not to (do not reopen after each command), and what to use instead for follow-up inspection (scene/screenshot tools). Alternatives for adjacent needs are named by name, leaving little to inference.

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