lokalise_get_current_user

Retrieve your contributor profile and permissions for a specific project. Verify your administrative capabilities, language access, or reviewer status before performing restricted operations.

Instructions

Checks your own permissions and access level in a project. Required: projectId. Use to verify your administrative capabilities, check language access, or confirm reviewer status before attempting restricted operations. Returns: Your contributor profile with all permissions. Essential before permission-sensitive operations.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full weight. It discloses that the tool performs a read operation (checks, returns) and specifies required parameters and return value. It does not mention side effects (none expected) or authentication needs, but behavioral transparency is adequate.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by usage guidance and return info. Every sentence earns its place with zero waste.

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 simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, required parameter, usage context, and return value fully. Nothing essential is missing.

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 description only reiterates that projectId is required. It adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema's own description, meeting the baseline for full schema coverage.

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 uses specific verbs like 'Checks' and 'verify' and clearly identifies the resource as the current user's permissions and access level in a project. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'lokalise_get_contributor' which presumably fetches other users.

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?

The description explicitly states when to use: before attempting restricted operations, to verify administrative capabilities, check language access, or confirm reviewer status. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context is clear.

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