creo_create_project_sheetmetal_flat_wall

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

Goes far beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true) by disclosing the bend-radius rule (thickness x 0.5), the full verification checklist (edge ID/length, wall type, active feature, radius rule, regeneration, volume increase, saved file), the side effect of moving older model-family versions to the Windows Recycle Bin, and failure cleanup. No statement contradicts 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.

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

The core purpose is front-loaded in the opening phrase, followed by a dense run of verification and side-effect disclosures. The long second sentence packs many clauses and could be split for easier scanning, but every sentence earns its place and nothing is wasted.

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

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

For a destructive 6-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the operation flow, verification criteria, pre-save failure cleanup, and post-save version handling. It stops short of stating the return value or success signal, and what happens when a verification fails after save is left implicit.

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

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description carries the burden and does map to several parameters: wall_height ('requested height'), edge_id/expected_edge_length ('verifies the attachment edge ID and length'), and expected_model ('current expected... project part'). It never mentions feature_name, and the claim of a fixed '90-degree wall' conflicts with the configurable angle parameter (1–179, default 90).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Opens with a specific verb + resource: 'Create one attached flat wall on one verified straight boundary edge of the current expected native Creo sheet-metal project part.' The qualifiers 'one', 'attached', 'flat', and 'boundary edge' distinguish it from siblings like creo_create_project_sheetmetal_flat_walls_batch and the planar-wall tools.

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

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

Usage context is implied through 'current expected native Creo sheet-metal project part' and 'one attached flat wall,' signaling a single-wall operation on the active model. However, no alternative tool is named and no when-not-to-use condition or exclusion is given — the agent must infer that the batch sibling or planar-wall tools are the alternatives.

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