Get TD Python class details

get_td_class_details
Read-only

Retrieves structured documentation for a TouchDesigner Python class, including members and methods. Returns the class object or near-name suggestions if the class is unknown.

Instructions

Read-only: full STRUCTURED documentation for one TouchDesigner Python class (members + methods) from the embedded knowledge base (offline). Returns the class object, or {found:false, suggestions[]} of near-name matches if unknown. Use get_module_help instead when you want the same content as ready-to-read Markdown rather than structured JSON.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds value by stating it is offline and describing the return shape (object or {found:false, suggestions[]}), which is helpful beyond annotations.

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 sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence front-loads the key purpose, read-only nature, and offline context. Second sentence adds return structure and alternative.

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 tool with one parameter and full schema coverage, the description adequately explains the return value, offline behavior, and suggestions on failure. No gaps.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with a well-described parameter 'class_name' and an example. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 specifies the action ('get'), resource ('structured documentation for one TouchDesigner Python class'), and differentiates from sibling 'get_module_help' by noting structured JSON vs Markdown.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use the alternative 'get_module_help' for Markdown output, implying this tool is for structured JSON. Provides clear context for choosing between them.

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