batch_process_files

Process multiple SolidWorks files in a directory with operations like rebuild, save as, export, or update properties. Supports recursive subdirectory processing and file pattern filtering.

Instructions

Handle batch process files.

This tool processes multiple files in a directory, performing operations like rebuild, save as, export, or property updates.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions types of operations but does not disclose potential side effects, authorization needs, error behavior, or result format. Minimal transparency.

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?

Two sentences; first is generic but second adds specifics. Efficient use of words, but could be more front-loaded with key details like file types and supported operations.

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?

Complex tool with one nested parameter containing multiple fields. No mention of output, error handling, or expected behavior per operation. Output schema exists but description doesn't leverage it. Incomplete for agent invocation.

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 parameter descriptions. Description lists operation types but adds no meaning beyond what schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states it processes multiple files in a directory with operations like rebuild, save as, export, or property updates. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like batch_export, but could be more specific about SolidWorks file context.

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 explicit guidance when to use this tool vs alternatives like batch_export or batch_file_operations. Implied by name and description, but no contrasts or preconditions provided.

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