session_activate

Set the active Godot editor session for subsequent tool calls by providing an exact session ID or a substring hint.

Instructions

Set the active Godot editor session for subsequent tool calls.

Accepts either an exact session_id or a substring hint matched against the session's short name (project folder basename), project_path, or session_id. An exact id match always wins; a substring must resolve to exactly one session or the tool returns an error listing the candidates.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description explains behavior beyond simply stating the function: exact ID matches always win, substring matches must resolve to exactly one session, and ambiguous matches return an error with candidates. This is valuable because no annotations are provided.

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 and well-structured. It front-loads the purpose, then explains input matching rules in clear, minimal sentences with no wasted words.

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?

For a single-required-parameter tool with an output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does, how input is interpreted, and the error behavior for ambiguous matches. Nothing essential is missing.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds meaningful matching semantics: the exact versus substring matching behavior and the fields matched (short name, project_path, session_id). This goes beyond the schema's parameter description.

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 the specific action: 'Set the active Godot editor session for subsequent tool calls.' This distinguishes it from session_manage and other session-related operations, making the tool's role immediately understandable.

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 phrase 'for subsequent tool calls' gives clear context for when the tool should be used, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this versus session_manage or other session operations. No alternatives or exclusionary conditions are mentioned.

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