nameYesJSON request body field — the name of the Project.
statusYesJSON request body field — controls Project visibility and filtering. `active` - Project is currently in progress. `pending` - Project is planned but not started. `inactive` - Project is no longer active.
group_idsYesJSON request body field — uUID references to the Groups this Project should be available to.
start_dateNoJSON request body field — project's start date. Required if `status` is `active`.
timezoneNoJSON request body field — the timezone to use for scheduling outbound messages for the Project. If not provided, the Group timezone will be used.
colorNoJSON request body field — hexadecimal color code for the Project. Helps with categorization and visual distinction.
daily_start_timeNoJSON request body field — default time the Project's workday begins. Must follow `HH:MM am/pm` format. Allowed increments: 15 minutes.

project_typeNoJSON request body field — any categorical classifier you use internally to label your Projects.
tag_instancesNoJSON request body field — tags can be used as categorical labels or to define requirements for people assigned to the Project.
categoriesNoJSON request body field — categories define buckets for resource assignments. Each Category can have nested Subcategories.
wage_overridesNoJSON request body field — sets an hourly wage rate for specific Job Titles on this Project.
rolesNoJSON request body field — assigns specific People to Roles on the Project. Useful for defining responsibilities and for notifications.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide safety profile (not read-only, not destructive, not idempotent). The description adds return value and HTTP status, but does not explain side effects, permissions, or error behavior. It meets basic expectations but adds little beyond annotations.

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 four sentences, front-loads the action and return value, and includes required params and API info. Slight redundancy ('Creates a new Resource Planning records' appears twice) prevents a 5.

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?

For a creation tool with full schema coverage, the description covers the essential purpose, return value, and required parameters. It does not cover error handling or edge cases, but is adequate for the tool's complexity.

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?

Input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description only lists required parameters without adding new meaning or examples, so it does not enhance understanding 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 creates a project for a given company ID and returns the UUID. It specifies the context of Resource Planning and the API endpoint, which helps distinguish it from the generic 'create_project' sibling. However, it could explicitly differentiate from similar siblings.

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 tells when to use it (for creating Resource Planning projects) and lists required parameters, but lacks guidance on when not to use it or alternatives. Given many siblings, this is a gap.

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