create_component

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'create a new component' without mentioning side effects, mutation, or anything beyond the basic action. It does not describe interaction with the model state.

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?

The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but lacks essential details. It is not optimized for quick understanding and does not front-load critical info.

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?

Given the complexity (3 parameters, output schema, and 18 sibling tools), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the output, contrast with siblings, or provide usage context. The output schema exists but the description ignores it.

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?

The schema has 0% description coverage, yet the description adds no meaning to the parameters (type, position, dimensions). It does not explain the coordinate system, units, or that dimensions are exclusiveMinimum >0. The default values are not mentioned.

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?

The description states the tool creates a component, which is a specific resource in Sketchup. However, it does not differentiate from other creation tools like create_dovetail or create_finger_joint, and it fails to mention that it creates primitive shapes (cube, cylinder, etc.) as seen in the schema.

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 is given on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description lacks any context about prerequisites, when to prefer this over other creation tools, or what type of components it creates.

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