model_get_property

Read a single writable attribute from a Plant Simulation object by specifying its path and attribute name, enabling reproducible model inspection and verification.

Instructions

Read one writable attribute of an object.

C2.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full disclosure burden and does not meet it. It never states that the call is side-effect free, whether the model must already be opened or connected, whether the attribute read triggers evaluation, or what is returned when the attribute is absent.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The single sentence is front-loaded and contains no padding, so it is efficiently written. But brevity here is under-specification rather than tightness; the one sentence does not earn the space it occupies because it omits information the agent actually needs.

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

Completeness1/5

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

A five-parameter, two-required tool with no annotations, no output schema, and zero parameter documentation cannot be called correctly from this description, especially given the ambiguous distinction among path, frame_path, work_dir, and model_root.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% across five parameters, and the description only vaguely gestures at two of them (path, attribute). work_dir, frame_path, and model_root are completely unexplained in both schema and description, leaving the caller to guess at path resolution and model scoping.

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

Purpose3/5

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

"Read one writable attribute of an object" names a specific verb (Read) and resource (a single attribute value), and the read framing implicitly contrasts with the sibling model_set_property. However, "writable attribute" is confusing for a read operation and neither "object" nor "attribute" is grounded in the domain, so the agent can't tell what entity type or attribute namespace is meant.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance and no named alternative, even though model_set_property, model_object_info, and model_list_objects are plausible neighbors. The agent must infer that this is the read counterpart to the setter and that it comes after resolving a model and object.

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