Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the `get_sketchfab_status` tool. It connects to Blender and sends the command to check Sketchfab status.
    @mcp.tool()
    def get_sketchfab_status(ctx: Context) -> str:
        """
        Check if Sketchfab integration is enabled in Blender.
        Returns a message indicating whether Sketchfab features are available.
        """
        try:
            blender = get_blender_connection()
            result = blender.send_command("get_sketchfab_status")
            enabled = result.get("enabled", False)
            message = result.get("message", "")
            if enabled:
                message += "Sketchfab is good at Realistic models, and has a wider variety of models than PolyHaven."        
            return message
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error checking Sketchfab status: {str(e)}")
            return f"Error checking Sketchfab status: {str(e)}"

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It adequately discloses the return value ('a message indicating whether Sketchfab features are available'), which is crucial given the lack of output schema. It implies a safe, read-only operation.

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 with zero waste. First states purpose, second states return value. Front-loaded and appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.

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 zero-parameter status check without output schema, the description is complete. It explains both the check performed and the nature of the return value, providing sufficient context for invocation.

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?

Zero parameters present. Per guidelines, 0 params = baseline 4. The empty schema requires no additional semantic explanation in the 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?

Clear specific verb ('Check') + resource ('Sketchfab integration') + context ('in Blender'). Distinct from siblings like 'download_sketchfab_model' and 'search_sketchfab_models' which perform actions rather than status checks.

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?

No explicit when-to-use or alternative suggestions provided. However, the tool's name and purpose imply it should be used before attempting Sketchfab operations (like downloads). Usage is implied but not stated.

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