Open the project

open_project

Read-only

Opens a project at the start of a conversation, or on a switch to another one: its brief and folders, its current phase and its objectives, this person's next step with its reason, this week's focus and what's missing, what is waiting for this person (parts handed to them, asks to agree, notes asking them, their tasks), who looks after what, the skills its members put there for every AI working on it, what changed since they last looked, with changes in what they look after first, and the project's own instructions. When the person is on several projects and none is named, it lists them, to choose which one to work in.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`detail`	No	short, the default: what waits on the person, the project's own instructions, who looks after what and the skills, whole; then the rest within 12,000 characters, where what does not fit is given as a § address with one line or counted in the answer's last line. full: all of it, with no budget.
`project`	No	The project's slug, from open_project, like acme. Not needed when a § address names the project, or when the person is on one project.

A3.9/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare a safe read operation. The description adds substantial behavior beyond that: what context is returned, that it lists projects when several exist and none is named, and how the schema-level detail budget affects output. It explains the branching behavior an agent needs to anticipate.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The first sentence is a long run-on list of every possible returned item, which is hard to parse and largely redundant with the output schema. The purpose is front-loaded, but the structure and verbosity work against quick comprehension.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the output schema and annotations, the description is nearly complete: it covers when to call, what context is returned, and multi-project fallback behavior. It does not address error cases or what happens if a named project cannot be opened, but those are minor gaps.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already documented in the schema. The description adds only a small implicit note that 'project' is not needed when the person is on one project, and otherwise defers to the schema.

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 uses a specific verb and resource ('Opens a project') and enumerates the context it loads, so an agent knows what the tool does. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like 'list' or 'guide', leaving sibling differentiation implicit.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It clearly states when to use it: 'at the start of a conversation, or on a switch to another one.' It also explains the multi-project ambiguity case. It does not name when not to use it or alternative sibling tools.

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