List all parameters in a COMSOL model and return expressions or evaluated numerical values with descriptions to support model inspection and setup.
List all parameters in a model.
Args: model_name: Model name (default: current model) evaluate: If True, return numerical values; if False, return expressions
Returns: Dictionary of all parameters with values and descriptions
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| evaluate | No | ||
| model_name | No |
Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description declares return type but lacks disclosure on side effects, permissions, or safety. 'List' implies read-only but is not explicit.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise: one-line summary, Args/Returns section. No redundant information. Well-structured for quick parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Explains parameters and return value sufficiently for a simple list tool. Lacks context on usage relative to siblings, but overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description adds meaning beyond the schema, explaining 'model_name' default and 'evaluate' behavior. Schema coverage 0% so description carries full parameter explanation burden.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'List all parameters in a model' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from parameter-specific tools (param_get, param_set) but does not explicitly differentiate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like param_get or param_description. Does not provide context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
