SolidworksMCP-python

create_part

Creates a new SolidWorks part document using the default template, ready for sketching and modeling operations.

Instructions

Create a new SolidWorks part document.

Creates a new SolidWorks part document using the default part template. The new part becomes the active document and is ready for modeling operations such as sketch creation and feature addition.

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the new part becomes the active document and is ready for modeling, but does not mention side effects like closing previous documents or error handling.

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 short segments. Every sentence adds value: the first states the purpose, the second clarifies behavior and readiness. No unnecessary words.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (creation with nested parameters) and existence of an output schema, the description explains the creation process and resulting state. It lacks details on error conditions or handling duplicate names.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning by stating the default template is used, but does not elaborate on each parameter beyond 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 it creates a new SolidWorks part document, using a specific verb ('create') and resource ('SolidWorks part document'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_assembly and create_drawing.

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 implies usage for creating a new part, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_assembly). It provides clear context but lacks exclusions.

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