Create Hole

create_hole

Create a hole feature on a body's top or bottom planar face by setting diameter and depth in cm; optionally define center coordinates and body.

Instructions

Create a hole feature on a body face. Unless a parameter says otherwise, lengths and coordinates are in cm (not mm) and angles in degrees.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already disclose a non-read-only, non-idempotent, non-destructive mutation. The description contributes a genuinely useful behavioral convention (cm and degrees by default) that is not in the annotations, but it says nothing about preconditions, whether an existing body/face is required, or what happens on failure.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with the action and followed immediately by the cross-cutting unit convention. Nothing is wasted.

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 7-parameter mutation tool with 43% schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers units but leaves body identification (body_name vs body_index) and the semantics of the required depth/diameter under-explained. Adequate but with clear gaps.

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 coverage is only 43%, so the description carries weight; the unit statement (cm, degrees) usefully applies to depth/diameter/center coordinates. However, it does not clarify the relationship between body_name and body_index, nor the meaning of depth relative to the selected face, so several undocumented parameters remain opaque.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a hole feature on a body face'), which an agent can distinguish from sibling feature tools like extrude, shell, or chamfer. It doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from shape primitives such as create_cylinder, but the 'feature on a body face' framing is reasonably clear.

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?

No guidance on when to use this versus alternatives such as create_cylinder, extrude with a cut, or boolean_operation. No preconditions (e.g., an active design or an existing body) are stated; the only usage-like content is the unit convention.

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