get_sound_class_properties

Read-onlyIdempotent

Read all properties of a USoundClass asset: volume, pitch, reverb, filters, output target, and direct parent/child classes. Read-only; one level at a time.

Instructions

Read a USoundClass asset: every FSoundClassProperties field that set_sound_class_properties writes (volume, pitch, filters, reverb and routing flags, output_target, loading_behavior) plus its direct parent and direct children by name and path; parent_class is "None" for a root class, and child_count is the number of children listed (null references are skipped). One level only: walk further with get_sound_class_hierarchy on a parent or child. Read-only; it loads the asset by object or package path, and one that does not load as a USoundClass is an error.

Returns: { sound_class_path: string, volume: float, pitch: float, low_pass_frequency: float, attenuation_distance_scale: float, lfe_bleed: float, voice_center_channel_volume: float, radio_filter_volume: float, radio_filter_volume_threshold: float, default_2d_reverb_send_amount: float, apply_effects: bool, always_play: bool, is_ui_sound: bool, is_music: bool, center_channel_only: bool, apply_ambient_volumes: bool, reverb: bool, output_target: string, loading_behavior: string, parent_class: string, parent_class_path: string, child_classes: [{name, path}], child_count: int }

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare the safe read profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive), so the description's job is to add behavior beyond that. It does: loading by object or package path, hard error when the asset is not a USoundClass, 'None' parent for root classes, and null references skipped. Omits only minor traits such as rate limits or cost of loading.

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?

Front-loads purpose, then the traversal caveat, then the read-only/loading note, all before the returns block. The exhaustive field list in 'Returns:' is long but earns its place since no output schema exists, though it borders on verbose repetition.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With no output schema, the description carries the full returns contract and does so field by field, including derived values (parent_class, child_count) and their edge cases. Combined with the one-level traversal limit and error behavior, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaning beyond the schema's 'Content path of the USoundClass asset' by clarifying that the asset loads by object or package path, which broadens the accepted path forms.

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?

States a specific verb (Read) and resource (USoundClass asset) and enumerates exactly what it returns, naming the counterpart writer set_sound_class_properties. An agent can distinguish it from get_sound_class_hierarchy and set_sound_class_properties without opening a schema.

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?

Gives an explicit boundary ('One level only') and a named alternative with the condition that selects it: 'walk further with get_sound_class_hierarchy on a parent or child.' It also links itself to the writer tool, so both traversal and mutation routing are covered.

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