Connect WebSocket control bus

connect_websocket_control_bus

Create a WebSocket DAT control bus scaffold for TouchDesigner, including command maps, message schema hints, status, and safety notes. Specify port, TLS, and network address.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the mutating but non-destructive behavior is already known. The description adds context by listing scaffold contents (command maps, message schema hints, status, safety notes), but no deeper behavioral details like permissions or side effects.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. It immediately states the action and key output characteristics.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 8 parameters and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not clarify how the scaffold is created, what 'command maps' and 'safety notes' mean, or how the parameters affect the result. This is inadequate for an agent to invoke correctly.

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 only 25%, and the description does not explain any of the 8 parameters. It mentions high-level scaffold features but adds no meaning to parameters like port, path, tls, active, net_address, or command_count. The description should compensate for low schema coverage but does not.

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?

The description clearly states the tool creates a WebSocket DAT scaffold, which is a specific verb+resource. It slightly distinguishes from siblings by mentioning WebSocket and control bus, but does not explicitly contrast with other connection tools.

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?

No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The name implies WebSocket control bus usage, but there are no explicit exclusions or alternative tool references.

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