Generate Mind Map

generate_mind_map
Read-only

Generate a mind map chart to organizes and presents information in a hierarchical structure with branches radiating from a central topic, such as, a diagram showing the relationship between a main topic and its subtopics.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dataYesData for mind map chart which is a hierarchical structure, such as, { name: 'main topic', children: [{ name: 'topic 1', children: [{ name:'subtopic 1-1' }] }, and the maximum depth is 3.
styleNoStyle configuration for the chart with a JSON object, optional.
themeNoSet the theme for the chart, optional, default is 'default'.default
widthNoSet the width of chart, default is 600.
heightNoSet the height of chart, default is 400.
brandThemeNoName of a brand theme saved on the user's account (their colours and footer), only when the user asks for their theme. Or "colorblind" for colours that people with colour-vision deficiency can tell apart (anyone can use it).

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes that this is a safe, non-mutating generation call, so the description's burden is lighter. But it adds nothing behavioral beyond that: no mention of the maximum nesting depth (left to the schema), no indication of what the call returns (an image, a URL, a chart spec), and no note on limits or failure modes.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Single sentence and front-loaded with the action, which is good. But the trailing 'such as, a diagram showing the relationship between a main topic and its subtopics' restates the preceding clause and includes a grammar slip ('to organizes'), so roughly half the text is redundant.

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 read-only chart generator with a fully documented nested schema and no output schema, the definition covers the input side adequately. It leaves the output side unaddressed — an agent cannot tell whether it gets back an image, a file path, or a chart reference — which matters when deciding how to chain from generation to presentation.

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 description coverage is 100%, including the depth-3 constraint, the enum values for texture/theme, and the brandTheme guidance, so the schema carries parameter meaning. The description adds nothing further about parameters, which meets the baseline for full schema coverage but does not exceed 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+resource ('Generate a mind map chart') and describes the hierarchical-radial structure it produces. However, it never differentiates itself from structurally similar siblings such as generate_organization_chart, generate_fishbone_diagram, or generate_flow_diagram, so an agent must infer the boundary.

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?

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. With three other hierarchy/relationship chart tools in the sibling list, the definition gives no condition that selects this one over them; the only usage signal is an illustrative example of a mind map's appearance.

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