Resize 3D Model to Real-World Dimensions

meshy_resize

Rescale a 3D model to real-world size on Meshy by setting height, longest side, or auto size, so later tasks use the updated dimensions.

Instructions

Rescale a model to real-world size on Meshy. Cost: 1 credit. Give exactly one of resize_height, resize_longest_side or auto_size.

Later tasks (e.g. Auto Split) use the new size. To only scale a downloaded OBJ for a slicer, meshy_download_model with print_ready + print_height_mm does it locally for free.

Example (5 cm figurine): { input_task_id: "abc-123", resize_height: 0.05 }

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations are non-committal (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true), so extra context matters. The description adds real value: a 1-credit cost, the exactly-one-of constraint, and that downstream tasks inherit the new size. It stops short of saying whether a model can be resized repeatedly or how it affects existing derived tasks.

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?

Front-loaded with the core action, then cost, then the exclusivity constraint, then the alternative and an example. Every sentence carries distinct information; no filler.

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?

With an output schema present, return-value explanation is rightly omitted, and the cost, exclusivity, and downstream effects are covered. A minor gap remains: no guidance on choosing between resize_height and resize_longest_side when either would apply.

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 coverage is 100%, so the per-field meanings are already documented, setting a baseline of 3. The description adds a genuine cross-parameter rule the schema does not encode -- give exactly one of resize_height, resize_longest_side or auto_size -- plus a worked example showing meters (0.05 for 5 cm).

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 (rescale) and resource (model to real-world size), and the title reinforces the scope. It implicitly distinguishes itself from meshy_remesh (geometry change) by framing the operation purely as rescaling with preserved aspect ratio.

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?

Explicitly names the cheaper alternative (meshy_download_model with print_ready + print_height_mm) and the condition that selects it. It also states the mutually-exclusive input constraint and the downstream consequence that later tasks like Auto Split use the new size.

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