Instructions

Download a 3D model from Sketchfab

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
formatNoPreferred format to download the model in (defaults to gltf if available)
modelIdYesThe unique ID of the Sketchfab model to download (must be downloadable)
outputPathNoLocal directory or file path to save the downloaded file (will use temp directory if not specified)
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'download' but does not specify that the tool may overwrite files, requires network access, or what happens if the model is not downloadable or the format is unavailable.

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 a single concise sentence with no wasted words. However, it could include a few more details without becoming verbose, such as indicating the output is a file.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Missing important context: no description of return value (e.g., saved file path), no error handling info, and no note about whether the tool checks for model availability before downloading. Despite having only 3 parameters, the description is too minimal for safe agent use.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so each parameter has a description. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what is in the schema. The default behavior for format and outputPath is already stated in 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 clearly states 'Download a 3D model from Sketchfab', which is a specific verb+resource combination and distinguishes it from sibling tools that list categories, licenses, search, or get model details.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites (e.g., model must be downloadable), and no context about the required modelId coming from a search or list tool.

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