run_tests

Runs headless GUT or GdUnit4 tests in a Godot project and returns the pass/fail summary. Auto-detects the test framework from the project addons.

Instructions

Run a GUT or GdUnit4 test suite headless and return the pass/fail summary. Auto-detects the framework from the project addons.

frameworkNoForce a framework (default auto-detect)
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It states headless mode and pass/fail summary, but lacks details on error handling, framework detection failure, or timeout behavior.

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?

Two sentences, no filler. Front-loaded with purpose. Efficiently communicates core functionality.

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?

Adequate for a test runner tool given 3 parameters and no output schema. Lacks details on error scenarios but covers essential usage.

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 coverage is 100%, so description adds marginal value beyond schema. It reinforces auto-detect behavior but doesn't introduce new semantics.

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?

Clear verb (Run), resource (test suite), and mode (headless). Distinguished from siblings like run_project and run_scene_test by specifying GUT/GdUnit4 frameworks.

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?

While auto-detection is mentioned, no explicit guidance on when to use this vs other test tools like run_scene_test or run_and_capture_errors.

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