list-plan-buckets

list-plan-buckets
Read-only

Retrieve all buckets in a Microsoft Planner plan. Use the plan ID to get organized task containers for project management.

Instructions

Retrieve a list of plannerBucket objects contained by a plannerPlan object.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
topNoPage size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more rows, use @odata.nextLink from the response instead of a very large $top.
skipNoItems to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search.
countNoSet true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains().
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.
filterNoOData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search.
searchNoKQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter.
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
orderbyNoSort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc
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?

The description is consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint=false). However, it adds no behavioral details beyond what annotations provide. It does not mention pagination behavior, response size implications, or any side effects. The parameter descriptions on the schema handle some details, but the description itself is minimal.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence that is appropriately concise. It front-loads the core purpose. It could be slightly more informative without becoming verbose, but it is not wasteful.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given 12 parameters and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain the structure of the returned list, how to handle pagination, or the relationship to plannerPlan. The parameter descriptions in the schema compensate partially, but the tool's purpose and usage context are insufficiently covered.

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?

With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3. The description itself does not describe any parameters; all parameter meaning is derived from the schema. This is acceptable given high coverage, but the description adds no additional semantic value beyond the schema.

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 the tool retrieves a list of plannerBucket objects for a plannerPlan. It uses a specific verb ('Retrieve') and resource, and the name reinforces the purpose. While it doesn't explicitly contrast with sibling planner tools, the resource 'buckets' vs 'tasks' or 'plans' provides implicit differentiation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., list-plan-tasks, get-planner-plan). There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., having the plannerPlanId) or constraints like the need for specific permissions. The description offers no when-to-use or when-not-to-use context.

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