Captures frames from the Unreal Engine viewport at a specified rate for continuous perception. Start or stop the capture with configurable FPS and resolution.

Instructions

Start or stop continuous viewport awareness at the specified rate. When active, the perception system captures frames continuously.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations set idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, reducing the burden. Description adds that it captures frames continuously, but lacks details on the effects of start vs. stop or consequences of repeated calls.

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 concise sentences, front-loaded with key information. No extraneous content.

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?

Description covers start/stop and capture behavior but omits details on the action parameter and potential side effects. With four optional parameters but defaults, basic completeness is adequate.

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 coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. Only the rate (fps) is hinted; no explanation of action, width, or height parameters.

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

Purpose4/5

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

Clearly states it starts/stops viewport awareness with a specified rate. Distinguishable from siblings like ue_viewport_config or ue_viewport_percept, but could be more specific about 'viewport awareness'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this versus alternatives, no when-not-to-use information. Only implies usage context via the description.

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