search_sketchfab_models

Search Sketchfab for 3D models using text queries, with optional filters for categories, result count, and downloadable-only results.

Instructions

Search for models on Sketchfab with optional filtering.

Parameters:

  • query: Text to search for

  • categories: Optional comma-separated list of categories

  • count: Maximum number of results to return (default 20)

  • downloadable: Whether to include only downloadable models (default True)

Returns a formatted list of matching models.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It states the tool returns a formatted list and mentions defaults, but lacks details on authentication, rate limits, or error handling. No contradictions.

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 concise, front-loaded with purpose, and lists parameters in a clear, structured format without unnecessary words.

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?

Given 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers parameter meanings and return type. Minor gap: does not specify format of 'formatted list' or categories behavior.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds value by explaining each parameter's purpose, including defaults for count and downloadable. This compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions.

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'search' and the resource 'models on Sketchfab', with optional filtering. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'download_sketchfab_model' and 'get_sketchfab_model_preview'.

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?

The description implies usage for searching Sketchfab models but does not explicitly compare with alternatives like 'search_polyhaven_assets' or provide when-not-to-use guidance.

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