tolerance([angular=angle], [linear=linear])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
tolerance is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
This command sets tolerances used by modelling operations
that require a tolerance, such as surface fillet.
Linear tolerance is also known as "positional" tolerance.
Angular tolerance is also known as "tangential" tolerance.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.tolerance( linear=0.02 )# sets the tolerance to 0.02, in the current unit
cmds.tolerance( linear='0.02cm' )# sets the tolerance to 0.02 cm
cmds.tolerance( angular='0.02rad' )# sets the angle tolerance to 0.02 radians
cmds.tolerance( q=True, linear=True )# returns the current tolerance in the current unit
cmds.tolerance( q=True, angular=True )# returns the current tolerance in the current unit
