Plan a visual from a description

plan_visual
Read-only

Describe a visual you want in natural language and receive a construction plan listing tools, recipes, and nodes needed—a dry run that produces nothing.

Instructions

Turn a natural-language description of a visual you WANT into a build plan (which tool/recipe and nodes) — a dry run that creates nothing. Note: this does NOT inspect the current TouchDesigner project; to read existing nodes use get_td_nodes / get_td_topology / find_td_nodes.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
descriptionYesNatural-language description of the visual you want.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description adds minimal behavioral context (confirms it doesn't inspect project). No additional traits disclosed.

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, no wasted words, front-loaded with purpose then caveat. Highly concise and well-structured.

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 no output schema, the description fully covers purpose, usage, and behavior. 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 description coverage is 100%. Description does not add meaning beyond the schema's 'Natural-language description of the visual you want.'

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?

Description clearly states it turns a natural-language description into a build plan (dry run). It distinguishes from sibling tools by noting it does not inspect existing project and provides alternative tool names.

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 'a dry run that creates nothing' and contrasts with reading tools, telling agent when to use and when not to use.

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