fusion_hole

Drill a circular hole of specified diameter at given coordinates on a plane or body face, with control over depth and through-all setting.

Instructions

Drill a circular hole (cut) of diameter mm at (x,y). By default it goes through everything on plane (xy/xz/yz). For a hole on an existing body face, pass on_body + on_face (from fusion_list_faces); (x,y) are then in that face's local coordinates. Set depth for a blind hole.

Behavior4/5

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

Adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it is a cut operation, defaults to through-all, and explains local coordinates for faces. No contradiction with annotations. Could mention idempotency or return value but not required.

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 with no wasted words. The primary action and defaults are front-loaded, and special cases are clearly separated. Excellent structure.

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?

For an 8-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers most key aspects. Missing explanation of the 'through_all' boolean slightly reduces completeness. Overall, it sufficiently informs usage.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining diameter, x, y, plane, on_body, on_face, and depth. However, it omits the 'through_all' parameter, which has a default of true and might need clarification.

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 specifies the action ('drill a circular hole'), the resource ('diameter mm at (x,y)'), and the default behavior (through everything on plane). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like fusion_box or fusion_cylinder by focusing on hole cutting.

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?

Describes default through-all behavior and provides explicit instructions for using on_body + on_face for holes on existing faces. Mentions blind holes with depth. However, does not explicitly compare to alternatives like fusion_extrude or state when not to use.

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