blender_addons

Install, list, uninstall, and search Blender addons. Supports local files and URLs for installation.

Instructions

Manage Blender addons (portmanteau).

Operations:

  • list_addons: List installed addons (requires Blender).

  • install_addon: Install from local addon_path (path to .py or folder).

  • install_from_url: Download and install from addon_url (ZIP or .py). No Blender needed.

  • uninstall_addon: Uninstall addon by addon_name.

  • search: Return known add-on URLs for a query (e.g. gaussian splat). No web crawl.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses some behaviors (requires Blender for list_addons, no Blender for install_from_url, no web crawl for search) but lacks detail on side effects, destructiveness of uninstall, or error handling.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is relatively concise and well-structured with a clear header and bullet-like list of operations. It avoids unnecessary fluff.

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 the tool has 6 parameters and 5 operations, the description covers each operation's purpose and key constraints. An output schema exists, so return values need not be detailed. The description is adequate for an agent to use the tool correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% with parameter descriptions. The description adds contextual grouping and notes about Blender dependency but largely repeats what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it manages Blender addons and lists specific operations. However, there is a sibling tool named 'manage_blender_addons' which could cause confusion; the description does not differentiate from that sibling.

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 gives some usage hints (e.g., 'No Blender needed' for install_from_url, 'No web crawl' for search) but does not explicitly specify when to use this tool versus other similar sibling tools like 'manage_blender_addons' or alternatives.

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