session_inspect_node

Inspect a simulation node to view its current and initial coordinates, variable values like displacement or pressure, and whether each DOF is fixed.

Instructions

Inspect one node: current and initial coordinates, the values of variables (default: DISPLACEMENT/REACTION/VELOCITY/PRESSURE/ TEMPERATURE as available) and whether each DOF is fixed.

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Inspect' implies a read-only operation and the described outputs suggest no mutation, but this is not stated explicitly and no data on pagination, cost, or error behavior is given.

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?

One dense sentence that front-loads the action and enumerates return fields with no filler; slightly run-on but efficiently structured.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained, but with zero schema descriptions and two undocumented parameters (model_part, node_id), the definition leaves gaps in a 4-parameter tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, yet it only explains the 'variables' parameter (default list of variables) and never mentions 'model_part' or clarifies node_id/session_id semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (Inspect) and resource (one node), and enumerates what is returned (coords, variables, DOF fixation). It is clearly distinguishable from siblings like session_inspect_element or session_set_nodal_values, though it doesn't explicitly name a sibling.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description says nothing about when to use this tool versus alternatives like session_field_summary or session_model_info, nor any preconditions beyond the required session_id/node_id shown in the schema.

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