Get Key Light Position (Spherical Coordinates)

get_key_light_position_spherical

Retrieve the key light's current position in spherical coordinates relative to the camera. Use this to accurately adjust lighting before making relative changes in 3D scenes.

Instructions

Get the current key light position in camera-centric spherical coordinates. Query this before relative position changes (e.g., "rotate light 10 degrees") 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 the full burden and effectively discloses behavioral traits: it describes the tool as a read-only query (implied by 'Get'), specifies the coordinate system ('camera-centric spherical coordinates'), and advises on state accuracy and context usage, though it lacks details on error handling or performance.

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 description is front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by practical usage guidelines in two efficient sentences. Every sentence earns its place by providing essential information without redundancy.

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?

Given the tool's low complexity (0 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is nearly complete: it explains what the tool does, when to use it, and behavioral context. However, it could mention the return format or potential errors for full completeness.

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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description adds value by explaining the purpose and usage context, compensating appropriately for the lack of parameters.

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 the current key light position') and resource ('key light position in camera-centric spherical coordinates'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'get_key_light_color' or 'set_key_light_position_spherical' by focusing on retrieval rather than modification or other attributes.

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?

It provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool ('Query this before relative position changes') and when not to ('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.
