get_godot_class
Read-only
Retrieve a compact map of a Godot class's members and inheritance to quickly understand its API structure and avoid loading full documentation.
Instructions
Return a map of one engine class: what it inherits, what it is for, and the signature of every member it declares, without their descriptions. This is the cheap first call for any question about a class -- some class entries run past 300 KB, so the map is what makes them answerable. Choose the member needed from members, then call get_godot_class_member for its full text. Inherited members are not listed; request a class named in inheritance_chain to see those.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include | No | List only members of this kind. Omit for every kind. Worth setting when a full map came back `truncated`. | |
| class_name | Yes | The class name, exactly as the engine spells it, e.g. 'Node2D'. |
