Look up Blender Python API docs

docs_bpy_lookup
Read-onlyIdempotent

Verify bpy signatures, properties, and enum values BEFORE writing scene_script code — authoritative reference from Blender's own documentation. Accepts dotted identifiers ("bpy.types.Object", "bpy.ops.mesh", "bpy.types.Object.location", "bmesh.types.BMEdge.is_manifold" or "BMFace.calc_area"), "X." to list a namespace's children, or "" for top-level modules. Unknown names return did-you-mean suggestions. Ask for a NODE TYPE ("ShaderNodeMix", "GeometryNodeTriangulate", "ShaderNodeValToRGB") and the reply also carries that node's real input/output socket names, the exact strings each menu socket accepts, and which sockets are hidden for the current mode — read off the pinned Blender build, because the API reference documents node properties and never lists sockets. That is the detail shader and geometry-node code cannot guess.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond annotations: it mentions did-you-mean suggestions for unknown names, the extra node socket details, and the fact that it reads from a 'pinned Blender build' because the official API reference omits socket lists. This goes beyond the structured metadata without contradicting it.

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 description is dense but not bloated. Each sentence contributes: purpose, accepted input formats, unknown-name behavior, node-type special behavior, and the reasoning behind the node detail. The purpose is front-loaded in the first clause. Slightly long, but every part earns its place.

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?

The tool has moderate complexity (special node-type handling) but the description fully covers input scenarios and the extra node info. An output schema exists, so return format is presumably documented there. The description doesn't mention authentication or rate limits, but those are not implied as needed. An agent knows exactly when to call and what to expect.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% (the single 'identifier' param is described simply as 'Exact Blender Python API identifier'). The description massively expands on this by specifying accepted formats (dotted identifiers, wildcards like 'X.*', '*' for top-level, node type names) and what each returns. This is exactly the value the description should add beyond the schema.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Verify bpy signatures, properties, and enum values' — clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like docs_bpy_search (which likely searches) and docs_manual_get (which fetches manual pages). It also gives concrete input examples ('bpy.types.Object', 'bmesh.types.BMEdge.is_manifold'), making the purpose unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explicitly says to use it 'BEFORE writing scene_script code', providing a clear workflow context. It also explains the special node-type query path that returns socket names and hidden sockets, which isn't obvious. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with docs_bpy_search or state when to use that alternative, so it's clear but not fully explicit about when not to use it.

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