set_object_visibility

Set a Blender object's visibility in the viewport, render, or both by specifying its name and visible state.

Instructions

Set object visibility in viewport and/or render.

Args: object_name: Name of the object. visible: Whether the object should be visible. viewport: Apply visibility change to viewport. Defaults to True. render: Apply visibility change to render. Defaults to True.

Returns: Confirmation dict with visibility state.

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies a mutation and repeats the schema's default values (True for viewport/render), but says nothing about required permissions, reversibility/undo behavior, effect on child objects, or whether the object must already exist.

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?

The description is front-loaded and efficiently structured with Args and Returns sections. Every line earns its place, though the Returns line is somewhat redundant given an output schema exists.

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 4-parameter mutation tool with no annotations, the description covers parameter semantics and mentions the return shape, which the output schema already handles. It is missing usage guidance and behavioral caveats, leaving meaningful gaps.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description compensates by documenting all four parameters in an Args block, clarifying that viewport and render control which visibility channels are modified. This adds genuine meaning beyond the bare schema titles.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Set object visibility') and scopes it to viewport and/or render, which distinguishes it from the sibling set_collection_visibility by targeting a single object. It does not explicitly name alternatives, but the purpose is immediately clear.

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?

Gives no when-to-use guidance relative to alternatives such as set_collection_visibility or viewport hiding. The 'and/or' phrasing implies the two scopes are independent, but there are no prerequisites, exclusions, or routing hints.

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