get_viewport_screenshot

Capture a screenshot of the current Blender 3D viewport to inspect or document your scene. Specify the maximum image size for a resized output.

Instructions

Capture a screenshot of the current Blender 3D viewport.

Parameters:
- max_size: Maximum size in pixels for the largest dimension (default: 800)
- user_prompt: The original user prompt that led to this tool call (for telemetry)

Returns the screenshot as an Image.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description should disclose side effects and limitations. It mentions the return type but does not elaborate on potential failures, impact on the scene, or whether the screenshot is taken in background. It adds some transparency but not comprehensive.

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?

The description is concise and well-structured: it starts with the purpose, then lists parameters, and ends with the return type. It is front-loaded and avoids unnecessary detail.

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?

For a simple tool with two parameters, the description covers the basics, but the default value mismatch and lack of error handling make it incomplete. It does not mention any conditions under which the tool might fail or any additional context.

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?

The description explains both parameters, which is necessary since the schema lacks descriptions. However, there is a contradiction: the description states max_size default is 800 while the schema says 1000, which could mislead the agent. It adds meaning but with a flaw.

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 tool captures a screenshot of the Blender viewport with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from other tools in the list. It is not a tautology and provides a clear action.

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?

It does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or conditions. The usage is implied (if you need a screenshot of the viewport), but no alternatives are named.

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