FreeCAD MCP

recompute

Recalculates the FreeCAD document to update geometry and reports objects left in an error or invalid state. Use after running Python scripts or when the model appears stale.

Instructions

Recompute a document and report objects left in an error/invalid state.

Use this after run_python or when geometry looks stale.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool reports error/invalid objects, but does not mention side effects, mutation, or the effect of `force`. The usage hint is more about timing than behavior, leaving transparency gaps.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, second sentence for usage. No fluff.

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 purpose and usage, and an output schema exists, but it fails to explain the `force` parameter or any prerequisites. Overall adequate but with clear gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It implicitly covers `document` but says nothing about `force`. This is a significant gap.

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 recomputes a document and reports error/invalid states, using a specific verb and resource. It is distinct from sibling tools like `run_python` or `edit_object`.

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?

The description explicitly says to use after `run_python` or when geometry looks stale, providing clear context. It does not mention exclusions or alternatives but gives sufficient guidance.

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