process_model

Import a 3D model file, slice it, and export G-code in a single operation.

Instructions

Convenience: import a model then slice + export G-code in one call.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description bears full burden. It describes the sequence but does not disclose side effects like file overwriting or prerequisites (e.g., active session). Basic behavioral cues are missing.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded with the word 'Convenience', no wasted words. Efficient and to the point.

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 explains the basic operation but lacks details on prerequisites (session), output (return value), and potential side effects. Given the tool's role in a workflow, more context is needed.

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 coverage is 0% and the description adds no explanation about the parameters (stl_path, gcode_path). No constraints, formats, or usage hints are provided.

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 is a convenience function that imports a model, slices, and exports G-code in one call. It uses specific verbs and resources, and distinguishes itself from siblings like import_model and export_gcode.

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 it is an alternative to calling import_model and export_gcode separately, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus the individual steps. No exclusions are mentioned.

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