create_polygon

Create regular polygons (triangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc.) by specifying number of sides, radius, center, and orientation.

Instructions

Create a regular polygon (triangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc.) with n sides.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
layerNo
centerNo[x, y, z] center point
normalNo[x, y, z] normal vector
radiusYesRadius from center to vertices
materialNo
inscribedNoTrue if inscribed (default), false if circumscribed
num_sidesYesNumber of sides (min 3)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, so description carries full burden. It only states the creation action but fails to disclose side effects, required context, or what determines polygon orientation.

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?

Single sentence, efficiently communicates purpose. No wasted words, but lacks structured breakdown of details.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With 7 parameters, no output schema, and minimal description, the tool's behavior regarding optional parameters (layer, center, normal, material) is not explained.

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 71%, so schema already explains most parameters. Description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond the schema's property descriptions.

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 creates a regular polygon (specific verb+resource), lists examples (triangle, pentagon, hexagon), and is distinct from sibling tools like create_face or create_circle.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_face for arbitrary polygons), no prerequisites or exclusions stated.

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