fusion_cam_generate

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

The description discloses the scoping behavior (operation, setup, all) and the fact that it generates toolpaths, which aligns with readOnlyHint=false. However, it lacks details on side effects, required document state, or what 'generate' entails (e.g., computation vs. saving). Annotations partially cover safety but not depth.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence of 12 words, front-loading the core purpose. Every word earns its place, with no redundancy or fluff.

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

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

Given the tool has 3 parameters, no output schema, and is part of a CAM workflow, the description covers the main use cases but is incomplete. It omits prerequisites, exactly what generation does (compute/save?), and how to handle multiple specified parameters. Adequate but not thorough.

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

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

Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description compensates by explaining the relationship between parameters: 'one operation in a setup, a whole setup, or all=true.' This adds significant meaning beyond the schema, though it doesn't cover edge cases like conflicting parameter combinations.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Generate' and the object 'toolpaths', and specifies the scope: one operation in a setup, a whole setup, or all. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like fusion_cam_post_process and fusion_cam_create_*.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives no explicit guidance on when to use the tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or context. It only implies usage by stating what it does, without exclusion criteria or sequencing advice.

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