Open Scientific Figure Library

figure_library_open
Read-onlyIdempotent

Open the read-only candidate workbench to search scientific figure templates. Requires bound Library and workspace, then prompts for a reference, data profile, or plotting goal.

Instructions

Open the read-only candidate workbench. New installs return setup_required until the global Library and Local workspace are bound; otherwise ask for an uploaded reference, data profile, or plotting goal before searching.

  2. First observedv0.3.0

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false), and the description adds behavior annotations cannot express: a state-dependent failure mode ('setup_required until the global Library and Local workspace are bound'). It stops short of describing what the opened workbench returns or how its state persists.

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?

A single dense sentence that front-loads the action, then the gating condition, then the expected input; no filler and no repetition of name or annotations.

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?

With no parameters, no output schema, and full annotation coverage, the description supplies the one thing structured fields cannot: the binding prerequisite and the failure mode. Minor gap is that it never says what a successful open yields or how the agent proceeds afterward.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate beyond the schema. The description appropriately focuses on invocation prerequisites instead of parameter details.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Open the read-only candidate workbench') and immediately flags its read-only nature, which an agent can check against the sibling plan/apply pairs. 'Candidate workbench' is somewhat internal jargon rather than plainly the figure library, so it is clear but not maximally self-explanatory.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Gives real entry-point context: it tells the agent the tool is the starting point, that new installs will return setup_required until the global Library and Local workspace are bound, and that the user should be asked for a reference, data profile, or plotting goal before searching. It does not, however, name alternative siblings such as figure_library_search or figure_library_describe for direct access.

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