Generate project README

generate_readme
Read-only

Generate a Markdown document that summarizes a TouchDesigner project or COMP, detailing parameters, inputs/outputs, nodes, dependencies, and optionally including a flowchart and preview thumbnail.

Instructions

Produce a Markdown project document for any COMP or project: family/type counts, custom-parameter table, inputs/outputs, child inventory, external file dependencies, and an optional preview thumbnail of the output TOP. Use include_mermaid to add a Mermaid flowchart and max_nodes to cap large inventories. Returns the full Markdown on the structured channel under markdown.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathNoPath of the project or COMP to document (e.g. /project1 or /project1/myComp)./project1
titleNoDocument title. Defaults to the COMP name when omitted.
include_previewNoCapture and embed a preview thumbnail of the output TOP as a base64 inline image.
include_mermaidNoEmbed a Mermaid flowchart block in the ## Data flow section. Off by default to keep output compact.
max_nodesNoMaximum child nodes to include in the Child inventory table. Nodes beyond this limit are omitted and a note is appended. Default 200.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
markdownYesFull Markdown document.
node_countYesTotal child nodes inspected.
familiesYesNode counts by operator family.
has_previewYesWhether a preview thumbnail was successfully embedded.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds useful context: returns Markdown on structured channel, optional preview thumbnail, and use of parameters. No contradictions, but could mention how invalid paths are handled.

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-load purpose and list contents, then provide parameter tips. No wasted words; efficient and scannable.

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 5 parameters and output schema exists, the description covers tool purpose, output format, and key options. Lacks details on error handling or performance, but sufficient for typical use.

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 clear parameter descriptions. The description reinforces parameter usage, e.g., 'Use include_mermaid to add a Mermaid flowchart' and 'max_nodes to cap large inventories,' adding value beyond 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 produces a Markdown project document for COMP or project, listing specific content (counts, parameter table, inputs/outputs, inventory, dependencies, preview). It distinguishes from siblings like document_network by specifying scope and components.

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 generating documentation but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like document_network. It provides guidance on parameters (include_mermaid, max_nodes) but lacks exclusions or when-not-to-use context.

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