list_drivers

Inspect an object's drivers to retrieve each driver's path, index, type, expression, variables, and Blender validity status.

Instructions

Args: object_name: Object to inspect.

Returns: Dict with each driver's path, index, type, expression, variables and whether Blender considers it valid.

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It clarifies that the operation lists driver details and reports Blender's validity judgment, but it does not explicitly state side-effect safety, failure conditions, or required object state.

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 short, front-loaded, and every line adds useful information. The Args and Returns structure makes it easy to scan without wasted prose.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple one-parameter listing tool with an output schema, the description is nearly complete. It covers purpose and return contents, though usage context and failure behavior remain unstated.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the single parameter. It says object_name is the 'Object to inspect,' which gives semantic meaning, but it does not clarify naming format, whether the object must be active or selected, or how missing objects are handled.

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 gives a specific verb and resource: 'List the drivers on an object with their expressions and variables.' This clearly differentiates it from the sibling tools add_driver and remove_driver without opening any schema.

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 explain when to use this tool versus alternatives such as add_driver or remove_driver. The argument note 'Object to inspect' gives some context, but there is no explicit usage guidance or exclusion.

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