daz_get_property_metadata

Retrieve detailed metadata for a property on a node, including type, current value, min/max range, and default value. Validate a value is within range before setting it.

Instructions

Get detailed metadata for a single named property on a node.

Accepts either the display label (e.g. "Luminous Flux (Lumen)") or the internal name (e.g. "Flux"). Use this to validate a value is within min/max range before setting it.

Args: node_label: Display label of the node property_name: Property label or internal name

Returns: { "label": "Luminous Flux (Lumen)", "name": "Flux", "type": "DzFloatProperty", "current_value": 1500.0, "default_value": 1500.0, "min": 0.0, "max": 100000.0, "is_animatable": true, "path": "Light/Photometrics", "node": "Spotlight 1" }

Behavior5/5

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

Without annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: accepts label or internal name, returns a detailed JSON object with constraints, and implies no destructive side effects.

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 concise, front-loaded with purpose, and includes a helpful example JSON response without unnecessary fluff.

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?

Given the moderate complexity and presence of an output schema (implicitly shown), the description provides all necessary context for a getter 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?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description explains the two parameters (node_label, property_name) with examples, adding meaningful guidance beyond the bare 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?

The description clearly states it retrieves detailed metadata for a single named property on a node, distinguishing it from sibling tools like daz_get_node or daz_inspect_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?

It explicitly recommends using this tool to validate a value within min/max range before setting, providing clear context for its use.

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