create_construction_axis

Define a construction axis by selecting two points, an edge, or a face normal. Specify coordinates or indices to set the axis orientation and position in your model.

Instructions

Create a construction axis from two points, an edge, or a face normal.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modeYesCreation mode: 'two_points', 'edge', 'face_normal'.
point1NoFirst point {x, y, z} in mm (for 'two_points' mode).
point2NoSecond point {x, y, z} in mm (for 'two_points' mode).
body_nameNoBody name (for 'edge' or 'face_normal' mode).
edge_indexNoEdge index (for 'edge' mode).
face_indexNoFace index (for 'face_normal' mode).
component_nameNoOptional component name. Uses root component if not specified.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It does not disclose side effects (non-destructive), error conditions, or permission requirements. The description is minimal beyond the action.

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?

A single sentence of 13 words, efficient and front-loaded with the action and resource. No extraneous information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Missing information about return value (is it an axis ID?), error handling, and constraints. While schema covers parameters well, the description does not provide operational context for a complex tool with conditional parameters.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value ('from two points, an edge, or a face normal') beyond what the schema already explains per parameter. No contradictions.

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 verb 'Create' and resource 'construction axis', and lists three specific creation modes (two points, edge, face normal). This distinguishes it from sibling tools which are other modeling operations.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_midplane or create_offset_plane. Also missing prerequisites (e.g., existing body for edge/face modes).

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