Predictive Maintenance MCP Server

by LGDiMaggio

extract_manual_specs

Extract machine specifications from equipment manual PDFs, including bearing designations, operating speeds, and power ratings. Results are cached for efficient reuse.

Instructions

    Extract machine specifications from an equipment manual (PDF).

    Extracts bearing designations (e.g. SKF 6205), operating speeds
    (RPM), power ratings (kW/HP/MW), and a text excerpt. Results are
    cached. If a bearing's geometry is not in the manual, follow up
    with search_bearing_catalog(bearing_id=...); if it is not in the
    catalog either, ask the user for the geometry — never invent it.

    Args:
        file_name: Manual filename in resources/machine_manuals/
        use_cache: Use cached extraction if available (default: True)
        ctx: MCP context

    Returns:
        Dictionary with extracted specifications and text excerpt.

    Raises:
        FileNotFoundError: If the manual does not exist (the message
            lists the available manuals).

Behavior4/5

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

Discloses caching behavior and error raising (FileNotFoundError). With no annotations, description fully covers behavioral aspects; no hidden traits.

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?

Well-structured with sections, front-loaded with purpose and extractions. Slightly verbose but every sentence adds value; could be more concise.

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?

Complete for a tool with output schema and no annotations: explains parameters, caching, error handling, and follow-up guidance. Handles sibling differentiation.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Adds meaning to both parameters: explains file_name path (resources/machine_manuals/) and use_cache default/behavior. Schema has 0% coverage, so description compensates well.

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?

Clearly states it extracts machine specifications from an equipment manual PDF, listing specific extractions (bearing designations, speeds, power ratings, text excerpt). Distinguishes from sibling tools like search_bearing_catalog and read_manual_excerpt.

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?

Explicitly says to use search_bearing_catalog if bearing geometry not in manual, and to ask user if not in catalog—never invent. Also mentions caching and FileNotFoundError with available manuals.

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