This page is the coverage contract for agent retrieval.

Exhaustive in these docs

The MCP tool reference is exhaustive for the currently published Parashell MCP surface:
Every registered MCP tool has:
  • tool name
  • signature excluding injected ctx
  • full descriptor/docstring
  • category page
If a task can be expressed with these tools, use the MCP tool reference as authoritative.

Not statically exhaustive in these docs

The FreeCAD-compatible Python API is exposed by a mixture of Python modules, compiled extension modules, document object TypeIds, workbench modules, and object properties that can vary by build, loaded workbench, document object, and optional module availability. Therefore, this docs set does not claim to be a complete static dump of every callable Python symbol in the active Parashell process. A static dump generated outside the Parashell interpreter would be incomplete for compiled bindings and misleading for dynamically registered object properties.

Complete discovery rule

When an agent needs an API not present in the curated module map, it must discover it in the active Parashell build by executing a small, read-only introspection snippet through execute_code inside an open transaction. Use:
  • dir(module) for module symbols
  • help(symbol) only when output size is acceptable
  • obj.PropertiesList for editable object properties
  • obj.TypeId for exact object type
  • obj.getTypeIdOfProperty(name) when available
  • obj.getGroupOfProperty(name) when available
  • obj.getDocumentationOfProperty(name) when available
  • doc.supportedTypes() when available
  • FreeCAD.getAllDerivedFrom(type_id) when available
See Runtime introspection.

Agent decision tree

  1. Prefer MCP tool reference for all bridge-exposed actions.
  2. If Python is required, check Compatible modules, Python API, TypeIds and properties, and FreeCAD-compatible online API map.
  3. If a symbol/property remains unknown, run a read-only introspection snippet in Parashell.
  4. Use the discovered exact property or method.
  5. Recompute, render, and validate after mutation.

Documentation coverage classes

Agents must not hallucinate Class C or D symbols. Discover them or avoid them.

Mutation safety

Runtime introspection must be read-only unless the current task already requires mutation. If an introspection snippet uses execute_code, still pass a transaction id because the tool contract requires it; cancel the transaction afterward if no mutation is intended.
