cura_screenshot

Capture an isometric screenshot of the current 3D model view in Cura to inspect the state. Returns a PNG file path.

Instructions

Capture le viewport de Cura (image isométrique) — pour VOIR l'état et le montrer à l'utilisateur.

Retourne le chemin de l'image PNG écrite (à lire ensuite).

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that it returns the path of the written PNG image, indicating a side effect (writing file) and output format, which is sufficient for this tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is short and front-loaded, but the second sentence could be integrated. Overall efficient with no wasted words.

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?

Given no annotations, moderate parameter count, and presence of output schema, the description covers the core purpose and return value but omits parameter details, leaving gaps for correct invocation.

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 has 0% description coverage and the description does not explain the three parameters (path, width, height). Without compensation, the agent must infer meaning from defaults, which is insufficient.

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 it captures the Cura viewport (isometric image) for seeing state and showing to user, distinguishing it from siblings like cura_get or cura_set which have different purposes.

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 usage for visualization ('pour VOIR l'état et le montrer à l'utilisateur') but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives among siblings.

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