Copy Entity

entity_copy

Duplicate an AutoCAD entity and offset the copy by given X, Y, and Z distances, then get details about the newly created copy.

Instructions

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate the operation is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds that a new copy is created, that it is displaced by (dx, dy, dz), and that information about the new copy is returned. This gives useful behavioral context beyond 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The entire description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It states the operation, the displacement behavior, and the return value efficiently.

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?

For a relatively simple copy-with-offset operation, the description, complete input schema, output schema, and annotations together provide enough context. There are no ambiguous behaviors or missing prerequisites that would prevent correct invocation.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all parameters are already documented with meaningful descriptions. The description's mention of (dx, dy, dz) aligns with the schema but adds no extra semantic detail beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

The description uses a specific verb ('Copy') and resource ('entity'), and specifies the displacement behavior and return value. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like entity_move or entity_mirror.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The intended use is implied by the verb 'copy' and the displacement parameters, but there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives such as entity_move or entity_mirror. No exclusions or alternative routing are provided.

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