Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_symbolsA | Search for SF Symbol names by name or keyword. Args: query: Search term (e.g. "star", "circle", "arrow", "weather", "music") Returns: JSON with matching symbol names and count. |
| get_symbol_infoA | Get information about a specific SF Symbol. Args: name: Exact SF Symbol name (e.g. "star.fill", "circle", "arrow.right") Returns: JSON with symbol availability, related symbols, and renderability. |
| export_symbolA | Export an SF Symbol as SVG with vector paths. Args: name: SF Symbol name (e.g. "star.fill", "circle", "chevron.right") weight: Font weight — ultralight, thin, light, regular, medium, semibold, bold, heavy, black size: Point size for rendering (default 100) output_path: Optional file path to save the SVG. If not provided, returns SVG content. raw_coords: If True, output raw CoreGraphics coordinates (Y-up) instead of standard SVG (Y-down).

TDQS
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: exporting SVGs, getting symbol info, listing all symbols, and searching by keyword. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (export_symbol, get_symbol_info, list_symbols, search_symbols), making them predictable and easy to understand.
With 4 tools, the server covers the essential operations for SF Symbols: listing, searching, retrieving details, and exporting. The count is appropriate for the domain.
The tool set covers querying (list/search/info) and exporting (SVG) adequately. A minor gap could be the lack of a 'preview' tool, but export serves that need. Overall, no critical missing operations for typical use.
