batch

Execute multiple Houdini operations atomically in a single undo group, preserving scene consistency.

Instructions

Execute multiple operations atomically in a single undo group. Each operation: {"type": "create_node", "params": {...}}.

Behavior3/5

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

The description discloses the key behavioral traits of atomicity and undo grouping, which are valuable. However, with no annotations provided, it omits details about error handling, permissions, or whether operations are executed sequentially or in parallel.

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 remarkably concise at two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose and a concrete example. Every phrase earns its place, with no redundant information.

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

Completeness2/5

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

As a generic batch tool with no annotations, output schema, or parameter descriptions, the description is far from complete. It does not specify which operation types are valid, how errors are handled, what the return value is, or any constraints on the operations array, leaving the agent to guess for correct invocation.

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 schema only defines an array of objects with no descriptions, while the description provides an example operation structure ('type' and 'params'). This adds some meaning but does not enumerate valid operation types or provide parameter schemas for each type, leaving significant ambiguity.

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 executes multiple operations atomically in a single undo group, specifies the operation format with an example, and distinguishes it from individual operation tools like create_node.

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 phrase 'multiple operations atomically' implies use when atomicity across several actions is required, but there is no explicit statement of when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.

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