Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'get_scene_info' tool. It connects to Blender using get_blender_connection(), sends a 'get_scene_info' command, and returns the JSON-formatted scene information or an error message.
    def get_scene_info(ctx: Context) -> str:
        """Get detailed information about the current Blender scene"""
        try:
            blender = get_blender_connection()
            result = blender.send_command("get_scene_info")
    
            # Just return the JSON representation of what Blender sent us
            return json.dumps(result, indent=2)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error getting scene info from Blender: {str(e)}")
            return f"Error getting scene info: {str(e)}"

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The verb 'Get' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not explicitly state that it does not modify the scene, nor does it mention failure modes or prerequisites (e.g., an active scene). It offers basic transparency but lacks depth.

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?

The description is a single concise sentence with no filler or redundant information. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 tool's simplicity (no parameters) and the existence of an output schema, the description is adequate to convey the core function. It could ideally mention that it returns information about the current scene, but that is already implicit in the wording, so it is complete enough for an agent to select and invoke the tool.

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?

The input schema has zero parameters, and the schema description coverage is 100% (trivially). The description correctly avoids explaining parameters. According to the rubric, 0 params gives a baseline of 4.

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 'Get detailed information about the current Blender scene' clearly specifies the action ('get') and the resource ('detailed information about the current Blender scene'), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tool get_object_info by focusing on the scene level.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of exclusions or references to sibling tools like get_object_info for object-level details, leaving usage context implicit.

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