ue_viewport_percept

Read-onlyIdempotent

Captures the Unreal Engine editor viewport to return a rendered image along with camera, selection, and scene metadata, enabling AI agents to gain visual situational awareness.

Instructions

Capture the UE5 editor viewport -- returns the rendered frame as an image plus camera, selection, and scene metadata. Gives the AI situated visual awareness.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnly and idempotent behavior. The description adds value by specifying the returned data (image, camera, selection, metadata), with no contradiction. It could further disclose format or prerequisites.

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?

Two sentences front-loaded with purpose, no fluff, earning every word.

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?

The description captures the core function and output, but lacks parameter guidance. Given an output schema exists, return values are covered, but the missing parameter context reduces completeness for a 4-parameter tool.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain any of the 4 parameters (width, height, format, include_image), leaving the agent without meaning 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 clearly states the tool captures the viewport and returns an image plus metadata, providing a specific verb and resource that distinguishes it from sibling tools like ue_viewport_config or ue_viewport_diff.

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 use for visual awareness but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it exclude any contexts or give when-not-to-use guidance.

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