create_project_full

Creates a Metis-integrated project with a database record, CLAUDE.md, and Claude Desktop configuration to organize and manage research work.

Instructions

Create a project with full Metis integration: DB record, CLAUDE.md, Claude Desktop.

This is the unified project creation tool used by all installers and the dashboard.

Args:
    title:        Project name.
    folder_path:  Absolute path to the project folder on disk.
    category:     User-defined category (e.g. 'Article', 'Grant', 'Teaching').
    description:  What this project is about. If empty and scan_type != 'none',
                  auto-detected from folder.
    scan_type:    'names' | 'content' | 'none' — how to infer description from folder.
    link_claude_desktop_auto: Write project to Claude Desktop config automatically.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Describes created artifacts but omits side effects, error conditions, permissions, or idempotency. Insufficient for a creation tool with multiple side effects.

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?

Concise and well-structured with a clear args list. Efficiently communicates purpose and parameters without unnecessary detail. Front-loaded with purpose statement.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Has output schema (presumably covering return values), so missing output description is acceptable. Covers what the tool does, parameters, and usage context. However, lacks behavioral details and edge case handling, which is notable given no annotations.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaningful explanations for all 6 parameters, including auto-detection logic for description, options for scan_type, and examples for category, going beyond schema which only provides names and types.

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?

Clearly states it creates a project with full Metis integration including DB record, CLAUDE.md, and Claude Desktop, and distinguishes itself as the unified tool used by installers and dashboard, differentiating from sibling create_project.

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?

Provides context that it's used by installers and dashboard but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus the simpler create_project or other alternatives. Lacks exclusion criteria.

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