diff_design_versions

Compare two versions of a 3D design by providing their version IDs to see changes in a unified diff format.

Instructions

Compute a unified diff between two design versions.

        Version IDs are interpreted as ``<design_id>:<version_number>``
        (e.g. ``my-coaster:2``).  If no colon is present the string is
        treated as a plain version number and the tool will attempt to
        locate a design that contains that version.

        Args:
            version_id_a: The "from" version in ``design_id:N`` format.
            version_id_b: The "to" version in ``design_id:N`` format.

        Returns:
            A unified diff string showing changes from version A to B.

Behavior4/5

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

The description explains the version ID format (design_id:N) and the behavior when no colon is present, and states the return type (unified diff string). With no annotations, it carries the burden well but lacks error handling details.

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 appropriately concise, uses a clear structure with Args/Returns sections, and wastes no words while covering key aspects.

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?

The description covers input format and output type adequately for a simple tool, but given no output schema, it could benefit from an example or note on error cases like missing versions.

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?

The description adds clear directional semantics ('from' and 'to' versions) beyond the schema's bare titles 'Version Id A' and 'Version Id B', which is critical for correct usage.

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 'Compute a unified diff between two design versions,' specifying the verb (compute diff) and resource (design versions). This distinguishes it from siblings like list_design_versions and compare_mesh_versions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for comparing versions via diff but provides no explicit when-to-use or alternatives among the many version-related sibling tools.

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