add_junctions

Add multiple junctions at specified coordinates to a KiCad schematic file. Each junction requires x and y coordinates.

Instructions

Add multiple junctions. Each point dict has keys: x, y.

Args:
    points: List of junction positions [{x, y}, ...]
    schematic_path: Path to .kicad_sch file

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the tool is a safe write operation. The description confirms it adds junctions, but adds no additional behavioral details beyond what annotations provide. No contradictions.

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 description is extremely concise with two sentences plus a structured args list. It front-loads the purpose and uses minimal words, every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, 1 required) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essentials. However, it omits context like behavior when 'schematic_path' is empty or prerequisites (e.g., open schematic).

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by explaining the 'points' parameter as a list with 'x', 'y' keys and 'schematic_path' as a file path. This adds meaning beyond the bare schema, though it could be more precise about value types.

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 clearly states 'Add multiple junctions' with a specific verb and resource. It explains the points parameter structure. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling 'add_' tools for other elements, which would improve clarity.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to add a single junction or use other tools. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or exclusions.

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