SketchUp MCP Server

by Tarkiin

execute_ruby

Execute Ruby code in SketchUp to automate 3D modeling tasks and access the complete SketchUp Ruby API.

Instructions

Execute arbitrary Ruby code inside SketchUp. The code runs in the context of the SU_MCP module and has full access to the SketchUp Ruby API (Sketchup, Geom, UI, etc.). Returns the result of the last expression and any puts/print output. Use with care — this can modify or delete model data.

Behavior4/5

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

Despite no annotations, the description discloses that code runs in the SU_MCP module, has full API access, returns the last expression and print output, and warns of destructive potential. This provides sufficient behavioral context.

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 three sentences: purpose, context, and warning. It is front-loaded with the main action and contains no unnecessary words.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers purpose, execution context, return value, and a necessary caution. It is fully adequate.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage, the single parameter 'code' is already well described. The description adds little beyond clarifying it's Ruby source code, which is already in the schema. Baseline score applies.

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 executes arbitrary Ruby code inside SketchUp, a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the only code execution tool among modeling operations.

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?

The description provides a warning about potential data modification but does not offer explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, or when not to use it. No sibling comparisons or context are given.

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