set_current_network

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

Annotations are absent, so the description bears the full burden. It discloses the mutation ('Set') but does not explain side effects, whether the change is scoped, or how it affects subsequent operations. This is minimal transparency for a state-changing tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, well-structured sentence with no filler. It is front-loaded with the action verb. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices valuable guidance, which reduces its score slightly.

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

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

For a one-parameter tool with no annotations or output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the role of the 'current network path' in the broader tool ecosystem, when to use it, or what the user can expect after invocation. This leaves significant gaps.

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

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at 0%, the description must define the 'path' parameter. It hints that the value is a network path within the editor, but does not provide format, syntax, or examples. This adds marginal meaning beyond the raw schema but is insufficient for correct invocation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Set') and the resource ('current network path') plus the context ('in the network editor'). It distinguishes from sibling setters like set_parameter or set_selection by targeting a specific Houdini concept. However, it could be more precise about what constitutes a 'network path'.

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

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

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or common workflows. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent without cues for selection among many related tools.

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