Create A BIM Viewpoint

create_a_bim_viewpoint

Create a BIM viewpoint in Procore to capture and store a specific model perspective. Requires project ID and viewpoint data.

Instructions

Create a BIM Viewpoint. Use this to create a new BIM records in Procore. Creates a new BIM records and returns the created object on success (HTTP 201). Required parameters: project_id, bim_viewpoint. Procore API: Preconstruction > BIM. Endpoint: POST /rest/v1.0/bim_viewpoints

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate this is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false), and the description confirms creation and mentions HTTP 201 response. However, no details on side effects, authorization needs, or potential conflicts. Adding behavioral context beyond what annotations provide is minimal.

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?

Concise three-sentence description that front-loads the main purpose. Includes endpoint and API category. Could be slightly more efficient but overall well-structured without 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?

Provides API context (Preconstruction > BIM, endpoint) and result description (returns object on HTTP 201). With no output schema, this compensates adequately. However, for a creation tool with complex nested parameter (bim_viewpoint), more detail on expected format would improve completeness.

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% with descriptions for both parameters. The description lists required parameters but does not add meaning beyond the schema. The bim_viewpoint parameter is open (additionalProperties: {}), and description offers no guidance on expected properties, structure, or constraints.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states the tool creates a BIM Viewpoint and returns the created object. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like create_a_batch_of_bim_viewpoints or create_bim_view_folder, which also create BIM-related records.

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 basic usage instruction ('Use this to create a new BIM records') but lacks guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like batch creation or folder creation. No explicit when-not-to-use or context for decision-making.

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