spyglass_get_mcdoc_symbols

Retrieve vanilla mcdoc type symbols to understand NBT and datapack data structures.

Instructions

Get vanilla mcdoc type symbols from Spyglass. Useful for understanding NBT/datapack data structures.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the tool retrieves symbols from Spyglass, but does not mention any side effects, authentication, rate limits, or output format. For a simple read tool, this is adequate but minimal.

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, front-loaded with the action, followed by context. No wasted words.

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?

The tool is simple (no parameters, no output schema). The description covers what it does and why it's useful. It is complete enough for an agent to understand its purpose.

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 zero parameters, meeting the baseline of 4 per guidelines. The description does not need to add parameter information since none exist.

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 verb 'get' and the resource 'vanilla mcdoc type symbols from Spyglass', with a clear purpose of understanding NBT/datapack data structures. It distinguishes itself from sibling spyglass tools (e.g., spyglass_get_block_states) by specifying 'mcdoc' symbols.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides context on when to use it ('for understanding NBT/datapack data structures'), but no explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives. However, given sibling tool names, an agent can infer this is for mcdoc symbols specifically.

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