pencil2d_set_camera

Set camera keyframes in a Pencil2D project by configuring pan offsets, zoom scale, and rotation angle for a specified frame.

Instructions

Configure camera keyframe positioning, panning (dx, dy), zooming (scale), and rotation angle.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dxNoHorizontal camera pan offset in pixels.
dyNoVertical camera pan offset in pixels.
frameNoFrame number for the camera keyframe (default 1).
scaleNoCamera zoom scale (1.0 = 100%, 1.5 = 150% zoom-in).
rotationNoCamera rotation angle in degrees.
project_pathYesPath to the .pclx file.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies a write operation and mentions keyframe configuration, but does not disclose whether a keyframe must already exist, whether missing keyframes are created, permission requirements, or any 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 a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every phrase maps directly to a configurable camera concept and the sentence is appropriately sized.

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?

For a mutation tool with no annotations, six parameters, and no output schema, the description is too thin. It omits behavioral context such as keyframe creation behavior, required project state, and what happens on failure.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents each parameter with units and defaults. The description reinforces panning for dx/dy, zooming for scale, and rotation angle, but adds no meaning beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: "Configure camera keyframe positioning, panning... zooming... rotation angle." It is clearly distinct from siblings like pencil2d_add_frame or pencil2d_add_layer, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.

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?

The description states what can be configured but gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or prerequisites. Usage is only implied by the action of configuring a camera keyframe.

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