create_project

Registers a new project in the Metis platform to track conversations and tasks permanently, making them available for linking and memory search.

Instructions

Register a new project in the Metis platform.

Called when a researcher confirms they want a Claude conversation or project
tracked permanently in Metis. Creates the project record in the DB so it
appears in the Work tab and is available for task linking and memory search.

Args:
    title: Human-readable project name, e.g. "Statistics Course".
    description: What this project is about (one sentence).
    domain: Research domain, e.g. "education", "epidemiology". Optional.
    source: Origin — "claude_project" (default), "claude_cowork", or "manual".

Behavior4/5

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

Describes creation of a DB record and its availability for linking and search. No annotations exist, so description carries the burden. It does not mention side effects like duplicate handling, but the behavior is straightforward and non-destructive.

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?

Three short, focused sentences plus a clear bulleted Arglist. Front-loaded with purpose. No redundancy or fluff.

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?

Covers creation logic, DB effect, and parameter meaning. Does not mention the output schema, but since it exists, the description is not required to detail return values. Could be slightly improved by noting authentication requirements, but not crucial for this tool.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description's Args section adds meaningful explanations for each parameter: examples for title, length hint for description, domain examples, and source options. This fully compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'Register' and the resource 'a new project in the Metis platform', and explains the effect on the DB and UI. It differentiates from siblings like 'create_project_full' by implying this is the standard registration tool.

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?

Provides clear context when to call (when researcher confirms permanent tracking), but does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare with the similar sibling 'create_project_full'. The scenario is specific enough for an agent.

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