launch_turtlebot3_world

Starts a TurtleBot3 simulation in Gazebo with a world environment through a WebSocket server.

Instructions

Launch TurtleBot3 world in Gazebo via WebSocket server.

Example: Launch TurtleBot3 in a world environment for simulation

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It mentions launching via WebSocket server but omits details like return values, simulation startup duration, or any side effects. The description is minimal.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, but the second sentence is redundant ('Example: Launch TurtleBot3 in a world environment for simulation'), restating the first. Could be more concise by removing the example.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite no parameters and no output schema, the description lacks completeness. It does not clarify the difference from 'launch_turtlebot3_empty_world' or specify prerequisites/outcomes of the simulation.

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?

No parameters exist, so the description does not need to explain them. The description adds context about the simulation environment (Gazebo, WebSocket), which is helpful.

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 launches TurtleBot3 world in Gazebo via WebSocket server. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'launch_turtlebot3_empty_world' which implies an empty world, and 'launch_gazebo' which is more generic.

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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as 'launch_turtlebot3_empty_world' or 'launch_gazebo'. The description does not specify context or exclusions.

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