Get active plan

get_active_plan
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the active read-only user-visible plan for the current conversation. Plan tools update plan state only; they never hide, block, route, or enable other tools.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already carry readOnly, idempotent, openWorld and non-destructive hints, so the bar is lower, yet the description adds real context: the plan is user-visible, and plan tools never hide, block, route, or enable other tools. It does not cover what is returned when no active plan exists, which is a meaningful behavioral gap for a getter.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core verb and resource, and no filler in the first sentence. The second sentence is a defensive clarification that earns its place by preempting a routing assumption, though the "hide, block, route, enable" list is slightly verbose.

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?

For a one-optional-parameter read tool with rich annotations and no output schema, the description is nearly sufficient. The main omission is the empty-state behavior (no active plan) and any hint of the returned plan shape, which an agent would need to act on the result.

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 coverage is 100% and the single conversationId parameter already documents the omit-to-use-current-context behavior and warns against placeholders. The description's "for the current conversation" is consistent with that but adds no new syntax, format, or defaulting semantics beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource ("Returns the active read-only user-visible plan") plus a scope qualifier ("for the current conversation"). The follow-up sentence that plan tools only update plan state distinguishes it from the mutation siblings (create_plan, add_plan_item, update_plan_item) without needing to open their schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied rather than stated: an agent can infer this is the read counterpart to the plan-mutation tools, and that omitting the ID targets the current conversation. There is no explicit when-to-use / when-not statement and no named alternative such as switch_active_strategy or get_strategy, so selection still requires inference.

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