get-planner-plan
Read-only

Retrieve properties and relationships of a Microsoft Planner plan by its ID. Use this to fetch plan details such as tasks, buckets, and progress.

Instructions

Retrieve the properties and relationships of a plannerplan object.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
expandNoNavigation properties to inline, e.g. attachments on a message or event. Only navigation properties can be expanded: expanding a non-navigation property such as a message body fails with "Parsing OData Select and Expand failed", and an unsupported value may be ignored rather than reported. Request ordinary fields with $select instead.
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
fetchAllPagesNoFollow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search.
plannerPlanIdYesValue for the 'plannerPlanId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'plannerPlanId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the planner plan object as returned by Microsoft Graph.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, which the description does not contradict. However, the description adds no extra behavioral context beyond stating it retrieves properties and relationships, which is minimal. The agent gains no insight into side effects, auth needs, or data scope beyond what annotations provide.

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 a single, clear sentence with no redundancy. It efficiently conveys the tool's core action without wasted words.

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?

Given the tool is a simple retrieval operation with a well-documented schema and no output schema, the description is mostly adequate. However, it could benefit from a note about what 'properties and relationships' typically include, especially since there is no output schema to clarify the return structure.

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 has 100% description coverage for all 6 parameters, so the descriptive burden on the main description is low. The main description does not add any parameter-specific context, which is acceptable since the schema already does a thorough job.

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?

The description clearly states it retrieves a planner plan object. The purpose is specific, but it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like list-planner-tasks, which could be confusing for an AI agent determining which tool to use for a specific plan retrieval.

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?

The description implies use when needing properties of a specific plan, but it offers no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or context for invoking it.

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