Execute Archicad API Command

archicad_call_tool

Execute Archicad API commands by name. Specify arguments including port to target an instance, and handle paginated results with page tokens.

Instructions

Executes a specific Archicad API command by its 'name'. This is the primary tool for interacting with Archicad. The 'arguments' dictionary MUST contain a 'port' number to target a specific Archicad instance. To get a valid 'port' number, you MUST first call the 'discovery_list_active_archicads' tool. If a tool's response includes a 'next_page_token', it means the results are paginated. To get the next page, call this same tool again with the same 'name' and 'arguments', but also add a 'page_token' key to the 'arguments' dictionary with the received token.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Mentions it is the primary tool with port requirement and pagination, but does not disclose whether commands are destructive, read-only, or any side effects.

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?

Concise, front-loaded with purpose, followed by essential usage instructions. Every sentence serves a clear purpose with no redundancy.

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?

Covers prerequisite (port retrieval) and pagination, which are key for correct usage. No output schema exists, but description does not explain return format; however, for a command executor this is sufficient.

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 beyond the schema by specifying that 'arguments' must include a 'port' key and optionally 'page_token'. Schema has 0% coverage, so description compensates well for the required parameter details.

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 the tool executes an Archicad API command by name, positioning it as the primary interaction tool. Differentiates from siblings which handle discovery and listing.

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?

Explicitly instructs to call 'discovery_list_active_archicads' first to obtain a port, and explains pagination with 'page_token'. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use instructions but provides clear procedural context.

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