Create particle system

create_particle_system

Build a particle system with an emitter, particle SOP, and geometry COMP, including forces and render style ready for tuning.

Instructions

Build a particle system: an emitter feeds a particle SOP inside a Geometry COMP, rendered with a camera + light. Forces and render style are scaffolded for further tuning.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only and not destructive; the description adds context about scaffolding a structure for tuning, but does not detail potential side effects like overwriting existing nodes.

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 a single sentence that front-loads the main purpose, but could be slightly more structured by breaking into two sentences for clarity.

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 covers the high-level output but lacks details on return values, error conditions, or parameter dependencies, which is noticeable given the absence of an output schema.

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?

With only 14% schema description coverage, the description does not compensate; it mentions forces and render style generically but provides no specific guidance on parameter choices or enum values.

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 builds a particle system with specific components (emitter, particle SOP, Geometry COMP, camera, light), distinguishing it from other creation tools like create_gpu_particle_field or create_3d_scene.

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?

The description lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_gpu_particle_field, and does not mention prerequisites or scenarios to avoid.

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