pv_isosurface

Convert bi4 particle data into VTK surface meshes for 3D visualization. Specify variables and particle types to generate iso-surfaces from DualSPHysics simulations.

Instructions

Run DualSPHysics IsoSurface to generate VTK surface mesh files.

Converts bi4 particle data into VTK surface meshes (iso-surfaces). The output files can then be used with animate() or render() via SourceDef(files=[...]) for visualization.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It describes input/output but omits details about process side effects, destructive potential, or prerequisites beyond the default Docker image.

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?

Three sentences, efficiently front-loaded with purpose and downstream usage, containing no waste.

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?

The description explains the output's use with animate/render and includes an output schema, but could provide more context on when to choose this over similar siblings like contour.

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?

Input schema has 100% coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional semantics beyond the schema, as it does not mention any parameters.

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 runs DualSPHysics IsoSurface to generate VTK surface mesh files from bi4 particle data, which is specific and distinguishes it from siblings like animate, render, and contour.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage as a preprocessing step for visualization via animate() or render(), providing clear context but no explicit when-not-to-use or comparisons to alternatives.

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