What it can do

Places point, line and surface-based elements such as doors, walls, beams, floors and roofs, and creates levels, grids, rooms and dimensions.
Queries the active view, selection, family types and material quantities, and reports model statistics.
Colours elements by parameter value and tags all walls or rooms in a view.
Has a send_code_to_revit tool that runs C# you or the agent write inside Revit.

Limitations

The add-in talks to the server over a local WebSocket, so the add-in must be loaded and its commands switched on under the ribbon's Settings button.
The README lists Revit 2020 to 2026; Revit 2027 isn't mentioned.
Running arbitrary C# through the code tool can change the model in ways the named tools don't guard against.
