sweep_schedule_row

Mints a condition from a schedule row key and sweeps every plan sheet to find all tag occurrences, matching text to marker geometry and optionally committing counted matches as markers.

Instructions

Take off a schedule row's mark from the row itself — the estimator's own gesture: a transition type sometimes exists only as a schedule row plus tag markers scattered across the plan sheets, and this tool mints the condition FROM the row and finds every occurrence. Pass the row's key (e.g. 'T1') and the tool (1) reads the row from the set's schedule tables (the sheet_graph/find_schedule machinery — the row is the condition's cited source), (2) anchors a geometric fingerprint on the marker the tag is DRAWN as on a plan sheet (a deterministic pad ladder around the tag text; where the tag occurs more than once the fingerprint must recur at a second occurrence before it is trusted — anchor.corroborated), and (3) sweeps every PLAN-role sheet for it. The count is geometry AND text agreeing: drafting reuses one bubble shape across many marks, so a match counts ONLY when the row's own tag sits within the marker footprint (its bbox rides the match as tag_at evidence); a match labeled with a SIBLING row's tag is excluded and says whose it is, an unlabeled match is withheld as a question, and a tag drawn with no matching marker is disclosed as text_only. REFUSAL over guessing, with the reason and the fix: no such row; the same key in two tables (ambiguous); a tag drawn on no plan sheet; no repeatable marker linework around the tag — a fingerprint is never guessed from text alone (the fallback is always: marquee one instance with symbol_sweep). commit: true commits the counted matches as EA markers under the row's own key — one undo step for the whole set-wide sweep, every marker carrying origin.assignment {source: "schedule"} plus the anchor and row citation on origin.symbol.seed. The COUNT is scale-free (EA), but matching is not: where the anchor sheet and a target sheet both carry a scale, the marker is resized by their exact ratio before matching (scaled per sheet), and where one does not, the sweep runs at 1:1 and discloses it (scale_assumed) rather than reporting a confident zero. After committing, LOOK: view_sheet {overlay: true} over each swept sheet. Coordinates are image px at render scale 2.0: PDF pt × 2, origin top-left, y down (the browser canvas's native space). Sheet payloads carry dims in both px and pt. LABEL-FIRST for devices (any trade): when the marker cannot be fingerprinted or does not reach a drawn tag amid linework — a heater bar or fan drawn to its own size, tagged by a leader — every such tag on a plan sheet counts as ONE instance BY LABEL, disclosed in found_by_label / label_only / counted_by; a bare mention in a note (no linework near it) is text_only, never a count. Rows come from every schedule family the sheet graph reads: room-finish, finish/material, and equipment (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tagYesThe schedule row's key exactly as drawn, e.g. 'T1', 'TR-2' — it becomes the condition tag on commit
commitNoCommit every counted match as one EA count marker (excluded/withheld/text_only never commit)
mirrorNoAlso match mirrored markers
rotationsNoAlso match 90/180/270-rotated markers
tolerance_pxNoEndpoint match tolerance in image px (default 2 — CAD jitter, not drift)

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
rowYesThe schedule row the sweep was seeded from — the condition's source
tagYesThe row key as normalized (the tag as drawn)
noteNo
foundYesInstances counted across every plan sheet: geometry matches carrying the row's own tag PLUS drawn tags counted by label — see counted_by
anchorYesnull when the sweep counted BY LABEL: no repeatable marker geometry sits around the drawn tag (the equipment convention — a device drawn to its own size, tagged by a leader), so nothing was fingerprinted
sheetsYesOne entry per swept PLAN-role sheet, load order
skippedYesSheets excluded from counting (schedule/detail/legend/unknown), each with its reason
warningNoPresent when the per-sheet work cap dropped candidates
completeYesTrue when every proposed placement was scored on every swept sheet — false means at least one sheet's count is a FLOOR, not a total (#261)
ea_totalNo
committedNocommit mode: count shapes committed — one per counted match, the whole sweep ONE undo step
conditionNocommit mode: the condition minted FROM the row — its key is the tag
shape_idsNo
counted_byYesHow the count was made — "label" means no marker geometry was matched at all; look at each label_only placement before pricing
found_by_labelYes…of which drawn tags amid linework the fingerprint did not (or could not) reach — an installed instance by the equipment convention, disclosed as label-counted
found_by_geometryYes…of which marker-fingerprint matches corroborated by the tag

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does so thoroughly: count semantics (geometry AND text agreeing), exclusion of sibling-labeled matches, withholding of unlabeled matches as questions, text_only disclosure, corroboration requirement for repeated tags, scale_ratio resizing vs scale_assumed 1:1 disclosure, one-undo-step commit semantics, and the origin fields stamped on each marker. This is well beyond what any structured field provides.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Every clause carries real information, but the description is a single sprawling ~450-word block dense with internal jargon ('deterministic pad ladder', 'the sheet_graph/find_schedule machinery') and stacked parentheticals that slow parsing. The commit/verification and LABEL-FIRST guidance would be far more usable as separate front-loaded sections rather than trailing run-on sentences.

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 tool this complex with five parameters and an output schema, the description covers everything an agent needs before calling: when to use it, what refusal looks like and why, how scale affects matching, what commit does and does not include, the coordinate space (image px at render scale 2.0, top-left origin, y down), and how to verify results afterward. Return-value shape is correctly left to the output schema.

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all five parameters including defaults and the tolerance bounds. The description adds meaning for the tag parameter (it becomes the condition tag on commit) and for commit (counted matches only; one undo step covering the set-wide sweep), but says nothing about mirror, rotations, or tolerance_px beyond what the schema states. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 names a specific operation on a specific resource: minting a condition from a schedule row's key and sweeping plan sheets for every occurrence, with optional commit as EA markers. It differentiates itself from siblings by naming the underlying machinery (sheet_graph/find_schedule) and the fallback (symbol_sweep). The opening phrase 'Take off a schedule row's mark from the row itself' is idiosyncratic and the true verb+resource only crystallizes mid-paragraph, keeping it short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It states the exact situation that selects this tool (a transition type existing only as a schedule row plus scattered tag markers), names the alternative when the tool cannot proceed ('the fallback is always: marquee one instance with symbol_sweep'), and gives a post-commit verification step (view_sheet {overlay: true}). Explicit refusal conditions with reasons and fixes leave almost nothing to inference.

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