  • x, y (number)

  • response_format

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already convey readOnly=false, idempotent=true, and destructive=false. The description adds a small behavioral detail by framing the operation as dragging on the canvas, but it does not disclose side effects, failure modes, or any constraints beyond what the annotations and schema already offer.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is short and front-loaded with the primary action. The Args list repeats some schema information but is compact and does not introduce unnecessary prose.

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 simple move operation, the description plus schema and annotations are sufficient to call the tool correctly: required params, bounds, response format options, and non-destructive/idempotent behavior are available. However, the expected return value and any prerequisite like having an open circuit are left implicit.

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?

The schema documents component_id and response_format, while x and y are only typed numbers with min/max bounds. The description clarifies that x and y are the new canvas position, which adds some meaning, but it does not explain units, origin, or coordinate interpretation in detail.

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 uses a specific verb ('Drag') and resource ('component') with a clear target ('new canvas position'). It is unambiguous on its own, though it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools such as tinkercad_set_component_attribute or tinkercad_delete_component.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives, and no exclusions or prerequisites are stated. The only implicit clue is 'existing component', which suggests the component should already be present, but this is not made actionable.

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