B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden; it does declare the read-only nature ('without changing Plane'), which is the key safety fact. However it says nothing about permissions, what happens when no project is active, or whether the call is cheap/idempotent, leaving meaningful gaps for a zero-annotation tool.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence listing exactly what is read and the read-only guarantee, with no filler.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The output schema covers return shape, so the description needn't describe it. But the only real open question — behavior when project_id is null — is unaddressed, and there is no pointer to sibling tools for other project reads.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single parameter project_id is optional/nullable with default null, yet the description never explains what omitting it does (presumably falling back to the active project). With one undocumented parameter the description should compensate but does not.

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?

States a specific verb ('Read') and enumerates the resources returned: identifiers, active profile, modules, labels, work-item count. It does not differentiate itself from close siblings such as get_project_workflow_profile, get_active_plane_context, or get_project_briefing, so an agent cannot tell which read tool to pick from the description alone.

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 statement of when to use this versus the many sibling getters (get_project_workflow_profile, get_active_plane_context, get_project_briefing, list_plane_projects). The only implied guidance is 'without changing Plane', which signals a read but does not route the agent.

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