Stamp silkscreen

stamp_silkscreen

Silkscreen stamps for release, both off unless asked for: a small spec badge ("routed with Koppar", optionally the title, revision and part count) in the largest free patch of the front or back silk, and JLCPCB's JLCJLCJLCJLC placeholder on the back silk so their order number is printed there, not on the front. Free means clear of pads, mask openings, other silk, courtyards, holes and the edge. KiCad's DRC is run before and after and a stamp that changes any count is taken off again.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
badgeNoPlace the spec badge (default false).
partsNoPart count for the badge; counted from the board when unset.
titleNoBoard title for the badge's second line.
wait_sNoSeconds to wait for the job (default 55). A job still running comes back with status "running": follow it with get_board_job. A job is allowed the time its budget asks for (time_budget_s, total_budget_s, rounds), and survives a server restart (the op starts over from its snapshot; route_board's pipeline goes on from its last finished stage).
revisionNoRevision for the badge ("rev B").
design_idYesThe design id returned by import_kicad_project or list_designs.
badge_sideNoSilk side for the badge; the larger free patch when unset.
jlc_order_numberNoPlace JLCJLCJLCJLC on the back silk (default false).

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

It adds substantial behavioral detail beyond annotations: DRC is run before and after, a stamp that changes any DRC count is removed, 'free' is defined against pads/mask/silk/courtyards/holes/edge, and the JLC placeholder is restricted to back silk. This is exactly the kind of mutation and rollback context an agent needs.

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 dense but front-loaded and every sentence contributes: default behavior, badge contents, placement constraints, JLC behavior, and DRC safety. Nothing is redundant.

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?

For an 8-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, it covers the key action, defaults, placement rules, and safety behavior. It relies on the schema's wait_s text for job-follow-up behavior rather than restating it, which is reasonable, though return/status expectations are not fully elaborated in the description itself.

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%, so the schema already documents each parameter. The description still adds meaning by explaining what the badge contains, what the JLC placeholder is for, and what 'free' means for placement side.

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 gives a specific verb and resource: stamping two kinds of release silkscreen marks. It clearly describes the badge and JLC placeholder, but does not explicitly distinguish this tool from the sibling set_silkscreen.

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?

It establishes the release context and states that both stamps are off by default unless requested. However, it does not explicitly say when to use set_silkscreen or cleanup_board instead.

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