Get Background Color

get_background_color

Retrieve the current 3D scene background color as a hex code for accurate color management and consistent visual adjustments in 3D visualization applications.

Instructions

Get the current scene background color as a hex color code (e.g., "#000000"). Query this before relative color changes to ensure accuracy. For absolute changes, you may use recently queried state from context if no manual interactions occurred.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden and effectively discloses key behavioral traits: it's a read-only query (implied by 'Get'), returns a specific format (hex color code), and has state-dependency considerations (accuracy for relative changes, context usage for absolute changes). It doesn't mention error handling or performance aspects, but covers essential operational context.

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?

Two sentences with zero waste: the first states purpose and output format, the second provides usage guidelines. Every word adds value, and information is front-loaded with the core functionality.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple read operation with 0 parameters and no output schema, the description is complete: it explains what the tool does, when to use it, output format, and state management considerations. No annotations exist, so the description adequately covers the necessary context.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately focuses on usage and output without redundant parameter details, earning a baseline 4 for zero-parameter tools.

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 clearly states the specific action ('Get') and resource ('current scene background color') with precise output format ('hex color code'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like change_background_color by being a read operation versus a write operation.

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?

Explicitly provides when to use ('Query this before relative color changes to ensure accuracy') and when not to use ('For absolute changes, you may use recently queried state from context if no manual interactions occurred'), offering clear alternatives and context for decision-making.

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