fusion_cam_list_setups

Read-only

List CAM setups from the active Fusion document and display their associated operations. The Manufacturing workspace must have been opened at least once.

Instructions

List CAM setups and their operations. Requires the Manufacturing workspace to have been opened once in Fusion.

No arguments

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds the prerequisite about the Manufacturing workspace, which is useful context beyond annotations. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences: first defines purpose, second gives prerequisite. No extraneous words. Front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Given no parameters and annotations covering safety, the description is complete enough. It states the action and a required condition. Could mention return format, but not essential.

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?

The input schema has no parameters, so schema description coverage is 100%. Per guidelines, 0 parameters yields a baseline of 4. No additional parameter info is needed.

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 it lists CAM setups and their operations, which is a specific verb and resource. It differentiates from siblings like fusion_cam_list_operations (lists operations) and fusion_cam_create_setup (creates setups).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It provides a prerequisite (Manufacturing workspace opened once), but does not explicitly compare to alternatives or state when not to use. The usage context is clear enough.

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