get_project_workload

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the description adds meaningful behavioral context by specifying that it summarizes active tasks and groups by assignee with estimated-hour shares. It does not cover edge cases like unassigned tasks, but this is beyond the core behavioral disclosure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence, front-loaded with the action verb and containing no redundant or filler content. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's purpose.

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

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

For a single-parameter read-only tool with an output schema, the description sufficiently conveys the summary nature and the grouping by assignee. It would be stronger if it explicitly connected the summary to the provided project_id, but the tool name and parameter name compensate reasonably.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not mention the project_id parameter at all. The agent must infer from the parameter name and tool name that the summary is scoped to a specific project, which is not explicitly stated.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb 'Summarize' and names the resource 'active task counts and estimated-hour shares by assignee', which clearly conveys a distinct aggregation function. This naturally differentiates it from sibling tools like list_tasks or get_project_board, even without naming them.

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

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

The phrase 'for planning' provides a general intended use context but no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives, nor any exclusions. It implies usage without stating when-not-to-use or naming sibling alternatives.

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