SolidworksMCP-python

close_model

Close the active SolidWorks document with an option to save changes, preventing data loss.

Instructions

Close the current SolidWorks model.

Closes the currently active SolidWorks document with an option to save changes before closing. This is essential for proper model lifecycle management and preventing data loss.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It doesn't specify what happens when save=false with unsaved changes (e.g., discard or prompt), nor if it closes just the document or the application.

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 concise with two sentences, front-loaded with the action. Every sentence adds value.

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?

The description is mostly complete for a simple tool, but missing behavioral details about unsaved changes when save=false. However, an output schema exists (not shown) so return value explanation is not required.

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?

The schema covers 100% of parameters, so baseline 3. The description adds no new meaning beyond stating the save option, which is already in the schema.

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 closes the active SolidWorks model, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like open_model and save_file.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for model lifecycle management and data loss prevention, but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives like saving and then closing separately.

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