Inspect GPU and displays

inspect_gpu_and_displays
Read-only

Retrieves host GPU details, monitor topology, and perform mode status to plan output mapping, dome rigs, and multi-display shows. Works offline when TouchDesigner is unreachable.

Instructions

Read-only: returns the host GPU info (name, driver, VRAM), attached monitor topology (resolution, refresh rate, primary flag, position), and whether the project is in Perform Mode. Use to plan output mapping, dome rigs, and multi-display shows without leaving the chat. Offline-safe — returns { connected: false, reason } when TD is unreachable.

Input Schema

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description adds value by specifying the offline fallback behavior and listing exact data returned (name, driver, VRAM, etc.), which enriches understanding 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 plus a brief offline note, front-loaded with essential information. No wasted words; each sentence earns its place.

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 read-only tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, usage, return content, and error state completely.

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% for the only parameter 'include', so baseline is 3. The description adds no further semantic detail beyond stating that omitting it returns all three sections, which is already implied. Minimal added value.

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 it is read-only and returns specific data (GPU info, monitor topology, perform mode). It distinguishes its purpose for planning output mapping, dome rigs, and multi-display shows, which is a concrete use case distinct from sibling tools.

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 explicitly advises using it for planning output and mentions it is offline-safe, guiding when to use. It does not list alternatives or when not to use, but the context is clear enough for the agent.

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