get_wrangle_code

Retrieve VEX code from any Houdini wrangle node by providing its path. Extract and view the code for review, debugging, or editing.

Instructions

Get the VEX code from a wrangle node.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. The verb 'get' conveys read-only behavior, and the phrase 'from a wrangle node' adds a target constraint. However, it does not disclose details about return format, error handling, or requirements beyond the node type, so it adds only modest context beyond the name.

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 a single, short sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and immediately clear, earning a perfect score for conciseness.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity—one parameter and no output schema—the description covers the core purpose and return value implicitly ('get the VEX code'). However, it lacks details on output format or error behavior, though these are less critical for a trivial getter. It is mostly complete for its complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

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. It does not mention node_path at all, leaving the parameter's semantics to be inferred from its name and the tool's purpose. The description adds little beyond the 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 uses the specific verb 'get' with a clear object 'VEX code' and target 'wrangle node'. This unambiguously states the tool's purpose and distinguishes it from siblings like set_wrangle_code or create_wrangle.

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 the tool is used to retrieve VEX code from a wrangle node, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives, nor any exclusions. It gives only the essential context of the operation.

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