19 of 19 tools

Documented tools (19)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

assert_geometry

Post-condition contracts — bbox, envelope, count, countdelta, watertight, supported

capture_review_set

Hero, plan, elevations and detail in one multi-image call

compare_before_after

Capture → edit → capture, with pixel-change metrics

create_core

Lift/stair/shaft core, with punchthrough to carve real voids

create_object

Universal create: wall, slab, column, opening, roof, massing, core + primitives

derive_floors_from_mass

Section a massing solid at floor heights into real slabs (variable storey heights)

detect_clashes

Real clash detection: RTree broad phase + Brep–Brep narrow phase

execute_python3

CPython 3 via RhinoCode (Rhino 8.11+, Developer mode)

execute_script

IronPython 2 inside Rhino, with rab auto-imported

find_unsupported

Objects floating with nothing beneath them

full

123

lean

~21

list_commands

Live plugin dispatch table (never drifts from the code)

ping

Health check — Rhino version, units, sceneversion etag, and which script engines are actually available

place_openings_on_facade

A whole facade of openings in one call

query_scene

Universal query: filter by type, layer, name, bbox; columnar format saves 40–60% tokens

section_preview

Instant interior inspection at any station; no permanent geometry

select_by_semantic

"all south-facing windows on level 3"

validate_objects

Corruption vs. intentional open shells, scoped by layer / name / sinceversion
