scene_new

Destructive

Clears the active Daz Studio scene. If unsaved changes exist, set discard_changes only after user confirmation.

Instructions

Clears the scene. Fails on unsaved changes unless discard_changes is true; ask the user first.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the destructive annotation, the description discloses what happens with unsaved changes, when the call fails, and the required user-confirmation step before discarding changes. This adds substantial actionable behavior beyond what the annotations provide.

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 short sentences are front-loaded with the core action and immediately followed by the critical failure condition and confirmation instruction. There is no unnecessary wording.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple destructive tool with one well-documented parameter and no output schema, the description covers the action, failure behavior, flag semantics, and user-safety requirement. Nothing essential for correct invocation is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the parameter already describes allowing clearing with unsaved changes. The description adds the consequence that the call fails unless the flag is true and reinforces that the user should be consulted first.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: "Clears the scene." This clearly distinguishes it from siblings such as scene_open and scene_save by operation, though it does not explicitly name an alternative.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It provides a clear prerequisite and safety instruction: unsaved changes cause failure unless discard_changes is true, and the user should be asked first. It does not explicitly compare when to use scene_new versus scene_open, so it stops short of full alternative guidance.

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