FreeCAD MCP Connector

by mario-2015

create_document

Create a new FreeCAD document by specifying a name. This initializes an empty project workspace for starting modeling tasks.

Instructions

Create a new document in FreeCAD.

Args: name: The name of the document to create.

Returns: A message indicating the success or failure of the document creation.

Examples: If you want to create a document named "MyDocument", you can use the following data. json { "name": "MyDocument" }

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the return value ('a message indicating the success or failure'), which is helpful. However, it does not mention potential side effects, error conditions (e.g., duplicate name), or whether the document is persisted, leaving gaps in behavioral transparency.

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 and well-structured with sections for Args, Returns, and an Example. It front-loads the core purpose and avoids unnecessary detail. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: purpose, parameter meaning, return value, and an example. It is complete enough for most use cases, though it could mention error handling (e.g., if the document already exists) to fully round out context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explicitly defines 'name' as 'The name of the document to create', adding meaning beyond the raw schema. The example further clarifies usage. This is adequate for a single simple parameter.

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 'Create a new document in FreeCAD' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_object. The example reinforces the purpose without ambiguity.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_object. The description does not mention any prerequisites or contextual clues for when creating a document is appropriate.

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