screenshot_op
AI agents call screenshot_op to retrieve information from Touchdesigner without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Taking a screenshot is a read-only operation that introspects visual state and produces no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or move money. Despite the empty description reducing confidence slightly, the name strongly indicates a passive observation capability consistent with the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'screenshot_op' suggests it captures a visual representation of an operator or the TouchDesigner interface.
