See a project's board

projects_board
Read-onlyIdempotent

A project as a board: each status with its tasks in order (finished and canceled ones only if asked). Free.

B3/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world behavior. The description adds useful behavioral detail: finished and canceled tasks appear only when requested, and tasks are ordered within statuses. However, it omits pagination behavior and any auth requirements.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and front-loaded, immediately saying what the tool returns. The trailing word 'Free.' is ambiguous and adds little clarity, keeping it from a perfect score.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only board retrieval with no output schema, the description covers the basic return shape and filtering behavior. It does not explain per_status, nor does it guide the agent on using this tool versus alternatives, leaving meaningful gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is only 33%, so the description should compensate. It implicitly covers include_finished (finished and canceled only if asked), but gives no information about per_status, which controls how many tasks are returned per status and has a default of 50. The agent is left without semantic guidance for that parameter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the resource and output shape: a project rendered as a board with each status and its tasks in order. It does not explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling tools like projects_list or projects_create, so it falls short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as projects_list, nor any mention of prerequisites or contexts. The agent must infer its place among siblings.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
