acc_project_summary

Fetch the full ACC project metadata record (name, type, status, dates, extension attributes) for a single project via APS Data Management. If hub_id is omitted the tool picks the first accessible hub, which may be wrong on multi-hub tenants.

When to use: The user asks 'tell me about project X' or an agent needs project metadata (start/end dates, type, Forma/BIM 360 flavor) before deciding which downstream tool to call.

When NOT to use: Do not use as a cheap existence check — prefer acc_list_projects which returns hub_id with every project and is one call regardless of tenant size.

APS scopes: data:read account:read. Forma / BIM 360 hubs endpoints only require data:read.

Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per endpoint; BIM 360 hubs endpoints pageable (limit 200). Cache results for the session.

Errors: 401 (APS token expired — refresh); 403 (user lacks project view or app not in account); 404 (project not in the chosen hub — supply the correct hub_id, or call acc_list_projects first); 422 (malformed project_id — confirm 'b.' prefix); 429 (rate limit — back off 60s); 5xx (ACC upstream — retry).

Side effects: None. Read-only and idempotent.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hub_idNoOptional ACC/BIM 360 hub ID. Also uses the 'b.' prefix literal. If omitted, the first hub returned by APS is used — prefer supplying this explicitly on multi-hub tenants to avoid 404s.
project_idYesACC project ID. MUST use 'b.' prefix literal (this endpoint — unlike Issues/RFIs — wants the prefixed form). Obtain via acc_list_projects.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses read-only/idempotent behavior, side effects ('None'), error codes with meanings (401, 403, 404, 422, 429, 5xx), scopes required, rate limits, and a recommendation to cache. This is comprehensive and beyond what annotations would have covered.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is organized into labeled sections (main use, when to use/not use, scopes, rate limits, errors, side effects) and front-loads the core purpose. Each sentence contributes unique operational guidance; no filler or redundancy exists despite the length.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a 2-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers all necessary operational context: purpose, usage criteria, error codes, rate limits, scopes, side effects, and fallback behavior. The minimal complexity is fully addressed, leaving no critical gap for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.

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?

The input schema already provides exhaustive descriptions for both parameters, including prefix requirements and hub selection fallback, giving 100% schema coverage. The tool description repeats this information but does not add new parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema states, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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?

The description opens with 'Fetch the full ACC project metadata record... for a single project via APS Data Management,' clearly identifying the verb (fetch), resource (project metadata record), and scope (single project). It explicitly contrasts with acc_list_projects in the 'When NOT to use' section, distinguishing itself from the closest sibling.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides an explicit 'When to use' section ('the user asks tell me about project X') and a 'When NOT to use' section that names the alternative tool (acc_list_projects). This gives the agent clear decision criteria and excludes misuse.

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

A4.7/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct entity (issue, RFI, project, document, file) and action (create, list, update, search, upload, summary). The 'When to use' and 'When NOT to use' notes in descriptions further prevent confusion.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent acc_verb_noun pattern (e.g., acc_create_issue, acc_list_projects, acc_upload_file). Verbs are always lowercase, nouns are singular, and there are no mixed conventions.

Tool Count5/5

9 tools is well-scoped for an ACC MCP server. It covers core project management operations (issues, RFIs, projects, documents, file upload) without being too sparse or bloated.

Completeness4/5

The set covers create, read (list), and update for issues, plus create and list for RFIs. Missing update for RFIs and a dedicated get-by-ID for individual issues or RFIs are minor gaps, but the core workflows are supported.
