Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_printersA | List the user's configured printers (id, name, machine, default plate, online). |
| get_amsC | Get the AMS tray/filament state for a printer so you can pick tray slots. |
| list_filamentsA | List available slicer filament profiles (for explicit overrides). |
| list_processesA | List available slicer process profiles (for explicit overrides). |
| create_print_sessionA | Configure a print from a local model file (.3mf/.stl) on a printer. Returns {job_id, sliced, handoff_url}. Share handoff_url with the user to review/tweak/print in the browser. Does NOT print. Pass slice=true to pre-slice (so the handoff lands ready-to-print). filament_profiles maps a filament slot index to {"profile_setting_id": ..., "tray_slot": ...}. |
| get_print_sessionB | Get a print session's status (incl. whether it's sliced) and handoff_url. |
| start_printA | Start printing a configured, sliced session — ASKS YOU TO APPROVE FIRST. Prompts for explicit confirmation in this conversation (elicitation) and only starts the print on an affirmative response. Declines / unsupported clients → nothing is printed. |

TDQS
Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: creating sessions, retrieving status, listing resources, and starting prints. No overlap in functionality.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., create_print_session, list_printers) with no deviations.
Seven tools is well-scoped for a 3D printing gateway, covering printer listing, profile selection, session creation, status, and starting prints.
Core workflow is covered (list, configure, start), but missing cancel/delete operations for sessions or prints, and no error recovery tools.
