FTC Toolchain

Install Pedro Pathing

install_pedro

Adds the Pedro Pathing library to an FTC SDK project by configuring Gradle, dependencies, and scaffolded constants (mecanum, Pinpoint). Tuning is required.

Instructions

Install the Pedro Pathing library into an FTC SDK project: adds the Gradle maven repo + dependencies, raises compileSdk to 34, and scaffolds pedroPathing/Constants.java (mecanum + Pinpoint by default). The constants MUST be tuned afterwards — see search_docs 'tuning'.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
versionNoPedro version (default: latest release from GitHub)
projectPathNoPath to the FtcRobotController SDK project. Defaults to $FTC_TOOLCHAIN_PROJECT_DIR, then the workspace clone made by create_project.
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that the tool modifies project files and notes that constants must be tuned afterwards. This is adequate but could mention potential side effects or idempotency.

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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. The purpose and a key caveat are front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to parse.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description covers the main effects and a critical follow-up step. Without an output schema, it provides sufficient context for a setup tool. Minor details like error conditions are omitted but acceptable.

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 baseline is 3. The description adds context about default paths and version but does not significantly extend the schema meaning.

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 tool installs a library into an FTC SDK project, listing specific actions (adds maven repo, dependencies, raises compileSdk, scaffolds constants). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like build, deploy, or search_docs.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description implies usage for setting up Pedro Pathing and directs to search_docs for tuning. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or list alternatives, but the context is clear.

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