fusion_offset_plane

Create a construction plane offset from a base plane (xy, xz, or yz) by a specified distance. Returns an index for use as a sketch plane.

Instructions

Create a construction plane offset from a base plane (xy/xz/yz) by offset mm. Returns its index for use as a sketch plane.

Behavior4/5

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

Beyond annotations (which indicate non-read-only, non-destructive), the description adds that the tool returns an index for sketch plane usage. No contradictions with annotations.

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?

Single sentence with clear purpose and return value; no unnecessary words.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description adequately explains functionality, parameters, and return value.

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 coverage, the description adds value by clarifying that 'base' can be 'xy', 'xz', or 'yz' and that 'offset' is in mm, supplementing the bare schema.

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?

Description clearly states the tool creates a construction plane offset from a base plane by a specified offset in mm. It distinguishes from other tools by specifying it returns an index for use as a sketch plane.

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?

Description implies usage for creating offset construction planes but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance or compare with alternatives like creating sketches directly.

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