blender_camera

Create and control cameras in Blender scenes with operations to set active camera, adjust lens, sensor, and clipping distances.

Instructions

Create and control cameras in Blender scenes.

Supports multiple operations through the operation parameter:

  • create_camera: Create a new camera

  • set_active_camera: Set the active camera

  • set_camera_lens: Adjust camera lens and sensor settings

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, required scene state, or error behavior. It describes operations but lacks transparency on behavioral traits beyond the operation list.

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 the main purpose, and uses a clean list for operations. Every sentence adds value with no fluff.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Despite 10 parameters and a complex tool, the description covers operations and parameters adequately. However, it lacks usage guidelines and behavioral transparency, and does not mention output schema despite its existence, leaving some context gaps.

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%, and the description adds semantic grouping by operation (e.g., 'Create a new camera') and explains the operation parameter's role, providing context beyond the schema's bare parameter 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 'Create and control cameras in Blender scenes' and lists specific operations (create_camera, set_active_camera, set_camera_lens) which are distinct from sibling tools like blender_lighting or blender_mesh.

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 camera operations but does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use it. Among many blender_* siblings, there is no guidance on selecting this tool over others.

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