Generate Network Graph

generate_network_graph
Read-only

Generate a network graph chart to show relationships (edges) between entities (nodes), such as, relationships between people in social networks.

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 network graph chart, such as, { nodes: [{ name: 'node1' }, { name: 'node2' }], edges: [{ source: 'node1', target: 'node2', name: 'edge1' }] }
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).

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
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 operation. The description adds no behavioral context beyond that, such as what the tool returns, how the chart is rendered, or any constraints on node/edge data.

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?

The definition is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler or repetition. Despite a minor grammatical awkwardness around 'such as,' it remains clear and efficient.

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?

The rich schema and readOnly annotation cover invocation and safety, so the description is adequate for basic selection. However, with no output schema, the description should say more about the return value or rendering behavior of a chart-generation tool.

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%, and the schema fully documents the data, style, theme, width, height, and brandTheme parameters. The description itself adds no parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Generate a network graph chart') and explains the core semantics: nodes as entities and edges as relationships. It does not differentiate this tool from potentially overlapping siblings such as generate_sankey_chart or generate_flow_diagram, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

The social-network example implies one use case, but there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives or when a different relationship-oriented chart is more appropriate. The agent is left to infer the selection criteria.

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