ArchiMate MCP Server

archimate_create_strategy_element

Create a Strategy layer element to define capabilities, resources, value streams, or courses of action in ArchiMate models. Supports strategic planning.

Instructions

Create a Strategy layer element (Chapter 7). Use for capabilities, resources, and strategic planning.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
element_typeYesType of strategy element: Resource (owned asset), Capability (ability to do something), ValueStream (sequence creating value), CourseOfAction (strategic approach/plan)
nameYesName of the element
documentationNoOptional documentation/description
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It indicates creation but does not disclose side effects, required context (e.g., open model), or limitations. Adequate but minimal.

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 two concise sentences, front-loaded with the main action and additional context. No wasted words.

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 a simple creation tool with 3 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is fairly complete. It could mention model context but is sufficient given sibling tool patterns.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 creates a Strategy layer element, specifying the layer and mentioning related concepts (capabilities, resources, strategic planning). This distinguishes it from sibling tools for other layers.

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?

The description says 'Use for capabilities, resources, and strategic planning,' implying when to use it. It does not explicitly exclude when not to use or mention alternatives, but sibling tool names provide context for layer-specific usage.

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