Create set navigator

create_set_navigator

Create a hands-light stage navigator to step through ordered scenes with Next, Prev, and Go controls. Optionally quantizes Go to the next beat.

Instructions

Build a hands-light stage navigator (the QLab model) for stepping through an ordered scene/cue list: Next / Prev to move the pointer, Go to fire the current scene's cue on the target COMP, and an Index knob to jump directly. Optionally quantizes GO to the next beat. The navigator drives manage_cue recall on the target so cue morphs and beat-quantized changes all work. Use after building a control panel with manage_cue cues stored; then perform the show by hitting Next + Go instead of recalling by name.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameNoName of the navigator COMP to create.set_navigator
parent_pathNoParent COMP path the navigator container is created inside./project1
targetYesThe COMP whose cues this navigator steps through. Cues are recalled on it via manage_cue.
scenesNoOrdered cue names to navigate. Omit or leave empty to read the target's existing cues.
go_on_beatNoQuantize GO to the next beat (needs a tempo/beat source).
resolutionNoPanel resolution [width, height] in pixels.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations set readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true. The description adds behavioral context: it drives manage_cue recall, quantizes GO optionally, and is non-destructive. No contradictions with annotations.

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 focused paragraph that front-loads the purpose and details controls. It is efficient but could be slightly more structured; however, it avoids redundancy.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the complexity (6 params, no output schema), the description covers the tool's purpose, usage sequence, key behaviors, and parameter roles. It mentions prerequisites and optional features, providing sufficient context for an AI agent.

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% with descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description enhances parameter meaning by explaining the overall workflow and specifics like 'Optionally quantizes GO to the next beat,' adding value 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 creates a 'hands-light stage navigator' for stepping through an ordered scene/cue list with specific controls (Next, Prev, Go, Index knob). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by detailing its unique functionality and use case.

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?

The description explains when to use the tool: 'Use after building a control panel with manage_cue cues stored; then perform the show by hitting Next + Go instead of recalling by name.' It provides context but does not explicitly list alternatives or when not to use it.

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