center_model

Reposition a 3D model by moving its geometric center to the origin. Use this to align models before printing.

Instructions

Translate the model so its geometric center is at the origin (0,0,0)

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
stl_pathYesPath to the STL file
Behavior2/5

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

The description does not specify whether the STL file is modified in place or a new file is created, nor any side effects. With no annotations, the agent lacks critical behavioral context.

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?

Single sentence, no wasted words, front-loaded with action and result.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a 1-parameter tool with no output schema, the description omits whether the file is overwritten or returned, leaving the agent uncertain about the tool's side effects.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage of the single parameter 'stl_path'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema offers.

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 clearly states the action (translate model) and outcome (geometric center at origin), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'rotate_stl' or 'scale_stl'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., before printing, after scaling). No prerequisites or exclusions mentioned.

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