Trimble Connect MCP Server

by SimonTrim

tc_object_links

Link entities such as todos, files, and views to model objects in Trimble Connect. Supports listing, creating in bulk, updating, and deleting object links.

Instructions

Trimble Connect Object Links (link entities like todos/files/views to model objects). Select the endpoint with the "action" parameter. Path placeholders {projectId}/{id}/{subId}/{extraId}/{version} are filled from the matching input parameters. Actions:

  • list: GET /objectlink — query: {projectId, objectId?...}

  • list_for_target: GET /objectlink/target — query: target entity params

  • create: POST /objectlink — body: object link

  • bulk_create: POST /objectlink/objectlinks — body: array of object links

  • update: PATCH /objectlink/{id} — id=linkId, body: fields to update

  • delete: DELETE /objectlink/{id} — id=linkId

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions HTTP methods and path placeholder filling, but does not cover error handling, rate limits, permission requirements, or data irreversibility for destructive actions like delete.

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 concise and well-structured: a single-line purpose, a clear explanation of path placeholder mechanics, and a bullet list of actions with HTTP methods and required parameters. Every sentence adds value.

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?

The description covers actions and parameter mapping, but lacks details on response format (no output schema) and the structure of the 'body' parameter for POST/PUT/PATCH actions. For a complex tool with 10 parameters and 6 actions, this is a noticeable gap.

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?

With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining how path placeholders in the action URLs map to input parameters (e.g., {id} corresponds to the 'id' parameter), which is not explicit in the schema.

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's purpose: 'Trimble Connect Object Links (link entities like todos/files/views to model objects).' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that focus on individual entities (e.g., tc_todos, tc_files) by specifying it manages links between objects.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implicitly indicates usage via the action parameter listing, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternative sibling tools (e.g., tc_create_todo for creating todos). No 'when to use' or 'when not to use' statements are provided.

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