FreeCAD MCP Server

by theosib

inspect_object

Retrieve a complete property dump and shape analysis for any FreeCAD object, including all properties with types, groups, documentation, dependency info, validity state, and shape metadata when geometry exists.

Instructions

Get a full property dump and shape analysis for a single FreeCAD object.

Returns all properties (with types, groups, and documentation), dependency info, validity state, and basic shape metadata if the object has geometry.

Args: name: Object name (e.g., "Pad001", "Sketch002"). doc_name: Document name. Empty string uses the active document.

Behavior3/5

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

Without annotations, the description mentions return content (properties, dependencies, validity, shape metadata) but does not explicitly state side effects, performance impact, or that it is read-only.

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?

The description is concise with a one-line summary, structured bullet points for return values, and a clear 'Args' section. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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 the low parameter count, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is fairly complete, covering purpose, parameters, and return content. Missing usage guidelines slightly reduce completeness.

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 lacks parameter descriptions (0% coverage). The description adds meaning by explaining 'name' and 'doc_name', including the default behavior of using the active document.

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 the tool gets a 'full property dump and shape analysis' for a single FreeCAD object, distinguishing it from siblings like analyze_shape which focuses solely on shape analysis.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. It only describes functionality.

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