catia_gsd_multi_section

Create a lofted surface from a sequence of section curves, with optional guide curves to control shape.

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive. The description adds one useful behavioral note: guide curves control the shape between sections. But it does not disclose operational behavior such as whether a new surface is created, where it is placed, what happens with invalid section ordering, or what the tool returns.

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 two short sentences with no filler. The core purpose is front-loaded, and the optional guide-curve behavior is stated in a second concise sentence. Every word contributes.

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?

For a 4-parameter CAD surface creation tool with no output schema, the description is minimal. It covers the core concept and optional guides, but it omits practical invocation context such as prerequisites, return value, error/failure expectations, and when to choose this over sibling GSD tools. It is adequate but not complete.

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 the schema already documents all four parameters. The description adds some semantic value by explaining that guide curves influence the shape between sections, but it does not meaningfully elaborate on the 'name', 'geoset', or 'sections' parameters beyond the schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly identifies the action ('Loft') and resource ('surface through a series of section curves'), and names the CATIA feature ('Multi-Sections Surface'). It is specific enough for an agent to understand what the tool does, though it does not explicitly contrast it with sibling surface tools like catia_gsd_blend or catia_gsd_sweep.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The phrase 'through a series of section curves' implies when to use the tool, and the mention of optional guides adds context. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives such as blend, sweep, or fill, and no exclusions are given.

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