search_godot_docs

Read-only

Find Godot documentation pages, tutorials, and class reference entries by keyword or question. Returns ranked matches with links and identifiers, so you can fetch the right doc or inspect a class member.

Instructions

Search the Godot documentation -- manual, tutorials, and class reference -- and return ranked matches. Start here whenever the exact class or page is not already known. Natural-language questions work as well as keywords: framing words are stripped before searching, so 'how do I make a character jump' finds the tutorial rather than every page titled 'How do I'. Follow a hit with its own fields: uri is what fetch_godot_doc takes, and a hit from the class reference also carries class_name and member_name, which are what get_godot_class and get_godot_class_member take. At most one hit is returned per page or class; also_matched counts the further matches on that same source that were folded into it.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
kindNoRestrict results to one part of the documentation.
limitNoMaximum results to return. Values above 50 are reduced to 50 rather than rejected. Fewer may come back: the response is also capped by total size.
queryYesWhat to look for, in plain words. A question is fine.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hintNoWhat to call next to see what was omitted, or to narrow the request. Empty when nothing was left out.
hitsNoMatches, best first, at most one per page or class.
queryYesThe query as it was actually searched, which may differ from what was asked when question phrasing was stripped out.
noticeNoAn advisory about the index itself -- that a newer one has been published, for instance. It says nothing about the hits, which are as correct for the indexed version as they ever were. Empty when there is nothing to report.
truncatedNoWhether content was omitted to stay within the budget.
Behavior4/5

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

ReadOnlyHint already covers the read-only nature. The description adds valuable behavior details: output fields (uri, class_name, member_name) and the handling of limit reductions. Slightly more detail could be given about ranking, but overall transparent.

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?

Every sentence contributes: search scope, usage direction, query example, output fields, and limit caveats are all packed without redundancy. The description is long but efficient.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's search nature and relationship to sibling tools, the description fully covers what results look like, how they map to sibling tools, and edge cases (limit reduction). No gaps for correct invocation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema descriptions are thorough for all three parameters, including nuances like plain words for query, restriction by kind, and limit behavior (reduction to 50, size cap). The description reinforces these but does not introduce entirely new meaning beyond the schema.

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?

States a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('Godot documentation'), and explicitly mentions it is for when the exact class or page is not known, distinguishing it from sibling tools that fetch specific docs.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides explicit direction: 'Start here whenever the exact class or page is not already known.' Includes example of natural-language query and notes that framing words are stripped, guiding the agent on appropriate queries.

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