Status names and their IDs: Pending Confirmation (28), Pending Processing (100005), Reopened (30), Deferred Fix (34), Confirmed (32), Selected (625489), In Analysis (154395), Analysis Complete (165115), In Progress (100010), In Design (156603), Design Complete (307012), In Development (142838), Development Complete (100011), In Testing (100012)

createdBeforeNoCreated not later than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
updatedAfterNoUpdated not earlier than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
updatedBeforeNoUpdated not later than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
creatorNoCreator user ID, multiple values separated by commas. Special value 'self' can be used to represent the current user
assignedToNoAssignee user ID, multiple values separated by commas. Special value 'self' can be used to represent the current user
sprintNoSprint ID, multiple values separated by commas
workitemTypeNoWork item type ID, multiple values separated by commas
statusStageNoStatus stage ID, multiple values separated by commas
tagNoTag ID, multiple values separated by commas
priorityNoPriority ID, multiple values separated by commas
subjectDescriptionNoText contained in title or description
finishTimeAfterNoFinish time not earlier than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
finishTimeBeforeNoFinish time not later than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
updateStatusAtAfterNoStatus update time not earlier than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
updateStatusAtBeforeNoStatus update time not later than, format: YYYY-MM-DD
advancedConditionsNoAdvanced filter conditions, JSON format
orderByNoSort field, default is gmtCreate. Possible values: gmtCreate, subject, status, priority, assignedTogmtCreate
sortNoSort order, default is desc. Possible values: desc (descending), asc (ascending)desc
pageNoPage number, starting from 1. Default is 1
perPageNoNumber of items per page, range 0-200. Default is 20
includeDetailsNoSet to true when you need work item descriptions/detailed content. This automatically fetches missing descriptions instead of requiring separate get_work_item calls. RECOMMENDED: Use includeDetails=true when user asks for 'detailed content', 'descriptions', or 'full information' of work items. This is more efficient than calling get_work_item multiple times. Default is false
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not mention that the tool performs a read-only operation, supports pagination, or how results are returned. Behavioral traits like rate limits or auth needs are absent.

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 sentence, extremely concise and front-loaded. It earns its place but could add more value without becoming verbose.

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 the tool has 28 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It lacks context about pagination, output format, and common usage scenarios, relying entirely on the schema for details.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The main description adds no additional meaning beyond the parameter descriptions already in the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the tool searches work items with various filters, specifying the domain [Project Management]. It uses a specific verb-resource combination and is distinct from sibling search tools for other entities.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_work_item, create_work_item, or other search tools. The includeDetails parameter has a recommendation, but it is within the schema, not the main description.

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