create_camera

Add a camera sensor to any scene with specified position, rotation, and resolution for capturing images or video.

Instructions

Add a camera sensor to the scene.

Args: prim_path: Prim path for the camera. position: [x, y, z] world position. rotation: [rx, ry, rz] rotation in degrees. resolution: [width, height] image resolution. Default 1280x720.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries the burden. It describes the action but does not disclose potential side effects, failure modes, or permissions required. Minimal transparency.

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 very concise with a one-line purpose followed by a clear list of parameter explanations. No wasted words, front-loaded appropriately.

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's simplicity and presence of an output schema, the description covers the basic semantics. Lacks mention of default behavior beyond schema defaults, but sufficient for the use case.

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?

The description adds meaning beyond the input schema by explaining each parameter (e.g., 'world position' for position). With 0% schema description coverage, this compensation is effective.

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 'Add a camera sensor to the scene' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_light or create_robot.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., create_lidar for other sensors). It does not provide context or exclusions.

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