Beckett — MCP for Godot

runtime_get_property

Read-only

Fetch node property values from the running Godot game using a path or live selector (class, name, text, nth). Returns the value and resolved path without re-fetching node paths.

Instructions

Read a property of a node in the RUNNING game. Address by path (node path/name) OR a live selector: class (native or custom class_name) / name / text [+ nth, default 0]. The selector resolves fresh each call — no need to re-fetch volatile @Node@NN paths. Returns the value plus the 'resolved' path that matched.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint. The description adds behavior: returns value and resolved path, selector resolves fresh. Adds value beyond annotations with no contradictions.

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?

Three sentences: purpose, addressing, behavior/return. No fluff, every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with verb and resource.

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?

Covers return value, fresh resolving, and addressing methods. Missing explanation for 'under' parameter, but overall adequate for a read tool with 7 params and no output schema.

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?

Despite 0% schema coverage, the description explains the role of path, class, name, text, nth as selectors. 'property' is clear. However, 'under' is not described, leaving a minor gap.

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 'Read a property of a node' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like set_property (write) and monitor_properties by emphasizing reading properties.

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?

Provides context that the selector resolves fresh each call, implying use for dynamic nodes. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but clearly positions as a read tool.

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