get_polyhaven_categories

Fetch the categories for Polyhaven assets (HDRIs, textures, models, or all) to browse by type.

Instructions

Get a list of categories for a specific asset type on Polyhaven.

Parameters:
- asset_type: The type of asset to get categories for (hdris, textures, models, all)
- user_prompt: The original user prompt that led to this tool call (for telemetry)

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It lacks disclosure of important traits such as read-only nature, error handling for invalid asset_type, or rate limits. The telemetry parameter purpose is mentioned but not elaborated.

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?

Description is short and front-loaded with the tool's core purpose. Parameter list is clear and no extraneous content.

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?

For a simple categories list tool, the description is adequate but lacks details on return format, pagination, or error handling. Given no output schema, more information would help.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so description compensates by explaining both parameters. It adds acceptable values for asset_type (hdris, textures, models, all) and clarifies user_prompt's telemetry purpose.

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?

Description clearly specifies verb 'Get', resource 'list of categories', and context 'for a specific asset type on Polyhaven'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like search_polyhaven_assets and download_polyhaven_asset.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Description states what the tool does but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives. Usage is implied but not explicitly contrasted with siblings.

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