Schema Quality & AI Usability80
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1142 tokens (~163/item across 7 items; 6 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass

MCP tools — 6 exposed · ~1,130 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
add_elements ~318

Creates elements on a canvas. Creates a new canvas if room_id is omitted, or adds to the existing canvas if room_id is provided. Use cases: wireframes, UI mockups, freeform illustrations, standalone shapes, and manual layouts that Mermaid does not cover well. For diagrams Mermaid can express, use add_elements_from_mermaid instead. Element types: rectangle, ellipse, diamond, arrow, line, freedraw, text, image. Rich text: the text field supports limited HTML for text elements and rectangle/ellipse/diamond shape labels. Supports the rich-text plugin HTML subset: <b>/<strong>, <i>/<em>, <u>, <br>, <div>/<p>, <ul>/<ol>/<li>, <a href>, <font color>, and <span style="color, background/background-color, font-size, font-family">. Use textAlign for left/center/right alignment; avoid unsupported HTML/CSS. TEXT IN SHAPES: use containerId on text element pointing to shape id. ARROWS: Position at EDGE of source shape. Auto-bound within 30px. Colors: strokeColor, backgroundColor (hex).

add_elements_from_mermaid ~356

Creates diagram elements from a Mermaid definition. Creates a new canvas if room_id is omitted, or adds to the existing canvas if room_id is provided. Preferred over add_elements for new diagrams and large changes to existing diagrams whenever the content can be represented in Mermaid. Supports: flowchart, graph, flowchart-elk, sequenceDiagram, classDiagram, classDiagram-v2, stateDiagram, stateDiagram-v2, erDiagram, journey, gantt, pie, gitGraph, mindmap, timeline, C4Context, C4Container, C4Component, C4Dynamic, C4Deployment, sankey, sankey-beta, quadrantChart, xychart, xychart-beta, requirement, requirementDiagram, kanban, architecture, block, block-beta, packet, packet-beta, radar-beta, treemap, info. Example: "flowchart TD\n A[Start] --> B{Decision}\n B -->|Yes| C[OK]\n B -->|No| D[Cancel]"

delete_elements ~98

Delete elements from a canvas. Requires room_id from a previous Canvs tool result. Pass ids array of element IDs to delete.

NameTypeReqDescription
idsarrayyesArray of element IDs to delete
room_idstringyesRoom ID from a previous Canvs tool result. If you only have a URL, extract it from https://[host]/?room=[room_id] or https://[host]/gdrive?id=[room_id].

No examples provided.

get_guide ~42

Returns guidance on diagram-creation workflow and tool selection: how to choose between Mermaid and manual element creation, and the recommended iteration workflow. Consult before building complex diagrams.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
guidestringyesTool usage instructions text

No examples provided.

query_elements ~151

Query elements on a canvas. Requires room_id from a previous Canvs tool result. Returns elements matching optional filters. Use this before update_elements when making small edits to existing diagrams. If no browser has the canvas open, returns an error — ask the user to open the canvas URL in their browser and retry.

NameTypeReqDescription
filterobjectAdditional key-value filters (e.g., {locked: true})

typestringFilter by element type
NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

update_elements ~165

Update elements on a canvas. Requires room_id from a previous Canvs tool result. Pass elements array with id and fields to update. IMPORTANT: in each update object ONLY `id` is required; all other fields are optional patch fields. Include ONLY elements that need changes; elements omitted from the request remain unchanged on the board. Prefer this tool for SMALL edits to existing diagrams (rename/move/restyle a few elements), typically after query_elements.

NameTypeReqDescription
elementsarrayyesArray of element updates (each must have id)
room_idstringyesRoom ID from a previous Canvs tool result. If you only have a URL, extract it from https://[host]/?room=[room_id] or https://[host]/gdrive?id=[room_id].
