create_animation_path

Animate an object along a curve path by applying a Follow Path constraint. Specify the object and the curve to control movement.

Instructions

Make an object follow a path (curve) using a Follow Path constraint.

Args: object_name: Name of the object to animate along the path. path_object: Name of the curve object to use as the path.

Returns: Confirmation dict with constraint details.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the tool creates a Follow Path constraint and returns a confirmation dict. It does not reveal potential side effects (e.g., whether keyframes are added, if existing constraints are affected, or if the object's transform changes).

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 concise: one sentence for purpose, followed by Args and Returns sections. No unnecessary words, and the main action is front-loaded. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given the tool simplicity (2 params, no annotations) and that an output schema exists, the description is adequate but not thorough. It explains the core function but omits details like whether the path must be a curve type, or that the Follow Path constraint requires additional setup (e.g., keyframes for offset).

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?

The description provides brief explanations for both parameters in the Args section, adding meaning beyond the property names. Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description partly compensates. However, it lacks details on type validation (e.g., must be existing objects) or formatting.

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 tool makes an object follow a path using a Follow Path constraint. It specifies the action (Make an object follow a path) and the resource (object and path curve). This is distinct from sibling tools like 'add_constraint' or 'insert_keyframe', which are more general.

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 does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'add_constraint' or other animation tools. No prerequisites, exclusions, or context for use are mentioned.

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