get_object_info

Retrieve detailed scene data for a specific 3D object in Blender, enabling AI-assisted modeling and manipulation through natural language commands.

Instructions

Get detailed information about a specific object in the Blender scene.

Parameters:

  • object_name: The name of the object to get information about

Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'get_object_info' MCP tool. It connects to Blender via a socket, sends a 'get_object_info' command with the object name, and returns the JSON-formatted result or an error message.
    @mcp.tool()
    def get_object_info(ctx: Context, object_name: str) -> str:
        """
        Get detailed information about a specific object in the Blender scene.
        
        Parameters:
        - object_name: The name of the object to get information about
        """
        try:
            blender = get_blender_connection()
            result = blender.send_command("get_object_info", {"name": object_name})
            
            # Just return the JSON representation of what Blender sent us
            return json.dumps(result, indent=2)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error getting object info from Blender: {str(e)}")
            return f"Error getting object info: {str(e)}"
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states this is a read operation ('Get detailed information'), but doesn't describe what information is returned, format, error conditions, or any constraints. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

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?

The description is efficiently structured with a clear purpose statement followed by parameter documentation. Every sentence serves a purpose with zero waste, making it easy to parse and understand quickly.

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 single-parameter read tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and parameter meaning adequately. However, it doesn't explain what 'detailed information' includes or the return format, which would be helpful given the lack of structured output documentation.

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 description explicitly documents the single parameter 'object_name' with a clear explanation ('The name of the object to get information about'), adding meaningful context beyond the schema's 0% coverage. Since there's only one parameter and it's fully explained in the description, this compensates well for the schema gap.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb ('Get detailed information') and resource ('about a specific object in the Blender scene'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_scene_info', which might provide broader scene information rather than object-specific 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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_scene_info' or other sibling tools. It doesn't mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage based on the tool name alone.

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