Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-25040:
-------------------------------------
Follow-up CAMEL-25235: the excerpt was scoped to components, and the new
Preview semantic language shows the cost -- its answer carries only the generic
expression-language options, so questions, criteria and threshold are
unreachable.
> camel-jbang-mcp - camel_catalog_doc returns only the option list, not the
> syntax a component's documentation explains

> Key: CAMEL-25040
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-25040
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-jbang
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.23.0

>
> {{camel_catalog_doc}} of a component returns the catalog entry: description,
> syntax, usage line, and the option list. For {{sql}} that is about 15 KB.
> What it does not carry is the part of the component's documentation that is
> not an option -- and for several components that is exactly the part an
> author needs.
> The {{sql}} component is the clearest case. Its named-parameter syntax
> {{:#name}} (and {{:#${simple}}}) appears nowhere in the 15 KB:
> * {{allowNamedParameters}} -- "Whether to allow using named parameters in the
> queries."
> * under another option -- "Notice if you use named parameters, then a Map
> type is used instead."
> Neither says what a named parameter looks like. The AsciiDoc page
> {{sql-component.adoc}} explains it fully in its first 80 lines, with the
> lookup precedence and the simple-expression form, but that page is only
> reachable through {{camel_catalog_docs}} / {{camel_catalog_doc}} by page
> name, which an author who does not already know the answer has no reason to
> ask for.
> Observed: in a 10-pass measurement of a local model writing this route, one
> pass called {{camel_catalog_doc(sql)}} six times in a row -- the same call,
> the same 15 KB back -- and reached its first file write on its last available
> tool call. All 10 passes of that step exhausted their tool-call budget, and 6
> of the 10 never wrote anything at all.
> Suggestions, either would help:
> * include a short usage excerpt from the component's AsciiDoc page in
> {{camel_catalog_doc}} when one exists (the prose before the first option
> table is usually the syntax and the essentials);
> * or at minimum end the answer with a pointer: which AsciiDoc page documents
> this component and that it covers what the option list does not.
> Filed from the benchmark of the camel-jbang-mcp server's tools; see the
> sibling camel-sql issue for the other half of the same failure.
