daz_get_node

Retrieve numeric properties like transforms and morph dials from a DAZ Studio scene node by its label or internal name.

Instructions

Return all numeric properties of a scene node by its label or internal name.

Useful for reading transforms (X Translate, Y Translate, Z Translate, X Rotate, Y Rotate, Z Rotate, Scale), morph dials, and any other numeric property on the node.

Args: node_label: The display label or internal name of the node (e.g. "Genesis 9"). Label is matched first; internal name is the fallback.

Returns a dict with:

  • name: internal node name

  • label: display label

  • type: DazScript class name (e.g. DzFigure, DzBone, DzCamera)

  • properties: mapping of property label → current numeric value

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations, so description carries full burden. Discloses matching priority (label first, internal name fallback) and return dict structure. Clearly implies read-only behavior, though not explicitly stated.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is well-structured but slightly verbose (includes full Args/Returns sections). However, all sentences are useful and front-loaded with purpose.

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?

Covers parameter, matching behavior, and return format. Given output schema exists, description provides sufficient context for AI to use tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but description explains node_label thoroughly: display label or internal name with example and matching priority. Adds significant value beyond schema.

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 the tool returns all numeric properties of a scene node by label or internal name, with examples (transforms, morph dials). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on numeric property retrieval.

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?

Explicitly says 'useful for reading transforms... and any other numeric property' implying when to use, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or comparison with sibling tools like daz_inspect_properties.

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