fusion_set_view

Idempotent

Change the 3D viewport to a named camera orientation such as home, iso, top, bottom, front, back, left, or right for quick visual inspection.

Instructions

Set a named camera orientation: home/iso/top/bottom/front/back/left/right.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description does not add behavioral context beyond the action itself; no mention of effects on selection, zoom, or idempotent behavior. However, for a simple set operation, this is minimally adequate.

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?

Single concise sentence with no redundancy; all information is front-loaded and useful.

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 simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description completely covers what the tool does and what parameters are expected. No missing details.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema has one parameter 'name' with no description or enum, and 0% schema description coverage. Description explicitly lists the nine valid values (home/iso/top/bottom/front/back/left/right), which is essential for correct invocation.

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?

Description clearly states verb (set) and resource (camera orientation), lists nine named orientations, and distinguishes from sibling tools like fusion_fit_view (which fits view to objects) and fusion_screenshot (captures view).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Description implies usage for switching to named views but does not explicitly state when to use this over alternatives like fusion_fit_view or fusion_screenshot. No when-not-to-use or contextual guidance.

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