Open a project for navigation

open_project
Read-onlyIdempotent

Selects a project for navigation and returns its video, transcript, shots, edit decision list and available assets. Project-targeted requests retain their own explicit project IDs.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent and closed-world behavior, so the description earns credit mainly for disclosing the returned payload surface. It stops short of explaining whether selecting a project mutates a session pointer or how large the asset list may be.

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, correctly front-loaded with the core action and its return surface. The trailing sentence is somewhat redundant with the schema, but nothing is padded or buried.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully enumerates what comes back, which is the main thing an agent needs. Missing only operational details such as response size, pagination of assets, or failure behavior for an invalid project_id.

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 schema description already states that the connection's navigation pointer does not select the target. The description's second sentence merely restates that rule, adding no new syntax or constraint on project_id.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('Selects a project for navigation') and enumerates what it returns (video, transcript, shots, EDL, assets). It does not, however, distinguish itself from sibling readers such as project_state, get_edl, get_shots, or list_assets, which return overlapping data.

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 only implied by 'for navigation' — an agent can infer it should be called before project-scoped work, but the definition never says when to prefer it over project_state or the individual getter tools. No exclusions are given.

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