get_work_package

Fetch a work package by its ID, including its full description. Get complete, untruncated task details directly from OpenProject.

Instructions

Get a work package by id, including its full description.

work_package_id: internal id (e.g., 952) or display_id (e.g., "PROJ-51"), not UI display number (e.g., 51) — the same value list_work_packages/ search_work_packages return as each row's id field.

The description is returned in full by default (single work packages are not truncated). Pass text_limit to cap it at that many characters; when the text is cut, description_truncated is true and description_length reports the real length.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the full description is returned by default, explains the text_limit parameter's effect, and describes the truncation-related fields (description_truncated, description_length). This is rich behavioral detail.

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?

The description is compact and front-loaded with the primary purpose. Each sentence adds necessary detail (id formats, truncation behavior) without redundancy or fluff. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The description covers everything an agent needs: id type ambiguity, default return behavior, and optional text_limit semantics. Since an output schema exists, return values need not be explained. The tool is well-specified for correct invocation.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no descriptions. The description compensates fully by explaining both parameters: work_package_id (internal or display_id, not UI display number) and text_limit (capping behavior, truncation flags). This adds significant meaning beyond the raw 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 retrieves a single work package by id, with a direct verb ('Get') and resource ('work package'). It also distinguishes from siblings like list_work_packages and search_work_packages by emphasizing the singular nature and the id field.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides clear context on when to use the tool (you have a specific work_package_id) and clarifies which id values are accepted, even referencing sibling tools for id format. It lacks an explicit 'use this instead of X' but the context is sufficient.

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