create_aot_object

Read-onlyIdempotent
Generate a complete, ready-to-deploy D365 F&O AOT XML scaffold for any object type.
Returns the XML + the correct file path inside the model -- the calling client (VS Extension,
Cursor, Copilot Chat) is responsible for writing the result to disk. This tool is fully
read-only on the server: it never writes to the filesystem, never mutates external state,
and is safe to expose from the cloud MCP.
When the knowledge base is available the scaffold is auto-enriched with real metadata
(existing field EDTs, related-table validation, auto-detected grid fields, etc.).

  9. First observed

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint), it explicitly states 'never writes to the filesystem, never mutates external state, and is safe to expose from the cloud MCP' and clarifies that disk writing is the client's job. This fully discloses the tool's side-effect boundary and is consistent with the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is very long, but the length is justified by about 20 AOT types with distinct option sets. It is front-loaded with purpose and safety, then organized by type with consistent formatting; minor formatting inconsistencies and overall bulk keep it from a perfect score.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Despite having no output schema, it states the return value ('XML + the correct file path') and the caller's follow-up action. Combined with exhaustive parameter documentation and side-effect disclosure, nothing critical is missing for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema only defines a generic options dictionary, but the description documents every aotType-specific option with syntax, defaults, enums, CSV layouts, and examples. This is far beyond what the input schema provides and is essential for correctly invoking the tool.

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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Generate a complete, ready-to-deploy D365 F&O AOT XML scaffold for any object type.' It also states the two outputs (XML + file path) and the caller's write responsibility, making the tool's scope unambiguous and distinct from code-generation siblings like generate_xpp_form or generate_query.

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?

The description gives clear context: it is for producing AOT XML scaffolds, is server-side read-only, and the client is responsible for persisting output. It does not explicitly name sibling tools to use instead for other generation tasks, so it stops short of a full when/when-not statement.

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