create_lattice

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing side effects. It states that a lattice is created and may bind to a target object, but it does not clarify what happens to the target object (e.g., modifier added, object modified), whether the lattice is added to the scene, what happens on name conflicts, or what the tool returns. The disclosure is minimal and incomplete.

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

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

The description is compact: a one-line purpose, a single optional side-effect note, and a clean Args list. It avoids unnecessary filler and the Args list earns its place because the schema provides no descriptions. Slightly more context about defaults or constraints could be added without bloating it.

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

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

For a 6-parameter tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description leaves significant gaps. It does not explain prerequisites (e.g., target_object must exist, points_u/v/w minimum values), coordinate-space assumptions, return values, or how the created lattice is referenced later. An agent would likely need external knowledge to call this tool confidently.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does provide an Args section covering all six parameters, giving basic meaning: name, location as [x, y, z], points_u/v/w as control-point counts, and target_object as the optional bind target. However, the explanations are shallow—missing ranges, units, coordinate-system context, and interaction semantics—so the compensation is only partially adequate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Create a lattice for free-form mesh deformation.' It also mentions optional binding to a target object via a Lattice modifier, which helps distinguish it from siblings like apply_lattice_deform. However, it does not explicitly contrast itself with any sibling, 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.

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

No guidance is given for when to choose this tool over alternatives, nor are any preconditions or prohibitions stated. The phrase 'Optionally binds to a target object via Lattice modifier' implies one use case but does not explain when the optional binding should be used, when it should be omitted, or how it relates to apply_lattice_deform.

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