export_file

Export 3D scenes or selected objects from Blender to FBX, OBJ, GLTF, USD, STL, and other common formats for sharing or further processing.

Instructions

Export scene or selected objects to a 3D file.

Supports FBX, OBJ, GLTF/GLB, USD, STL, PLY, Alembic (ABC), Collada (DAE), SVG, and X3D formats.

Args: filepath: Absolute path for the export file. type: Optional format override. Auto-detected from extension if empty. selected_only: If True, export only selected objects. Defaults to False.

Returns: Dict with exported file path and format.

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 that the tool exports data (a write operation) and lists supported formats, but lacks details on permissions, error handling, or side effects. It adds some context but is incomplete for a mutation tool.

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 well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by supported formats and parameter details. Every sentence earns its place, with no wasted words, making it efficient and easy to parse.

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 mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is adequate but has gaps. It covers parameters and return value basics, but lacks details on behavioral traits like error conditions or side effects, which are important for a file export operation.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining all three parameters: 'filepath' as the absolute path, 'type' as an optional format override with auto-detection, and 'selected_only' for exporting only selected objects with a default. This adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.

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's purpose with a specific verb ('Export') and resource ('scene or selected objects to a 3D file'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'import_file' and 'save_file' by focusing on 3D file export rather than import or general saving.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage by listing supported formats and parameters, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'save_file' or 'import_file', nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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