zoom

Adjust the 3D view zoom level. Positive steps zoom in, negative steps zoom out. Optionally define the focal point coordinates.

Instructions

Zoom the 3D view. Positive steps zoom in, negative out, over (x,y).

When x/y are left at -1 the screen centre of the active session is used.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses zoom direction and center behavior, but omits side effects, limits, or whether the view is permanently changed.

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?

Two sentences with front-loaded main purpose. Efficient but could be more structured, e.g., listing parameters explicitly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Output schema exists, so return value not needed. Parameter count is low, but description lacks context on when zoom is appropriate and what 'active session' means, leaving gaps for a new user.

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 0%, so description adds meaning: steps direction and default x/y behavior. However, x and y semantics (likely coordinates for zoom center) are vague, and steps lacks scaling context.

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 clearly states the tool zooms the 3D view and explains the direction of steps (positive in, negative out). It distinguishes from sibling tools like click or import_model, but lacks specificity about the 3D context.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only explains default behavior for x/y coordinates, not when to choose zoom over other view-manipulation tools.

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