list_my_open_work_packages

View your open assigned work packages in OpenProject. Paginate through results with limit and offset until no next_offset remains to retrieve the full list.

Instructions

List the current user's open assigned work packages.

limit is capped at OPENPROJECT_MAX_PAGE_SIZE (default 50); pass the returned next_offset as the next call's offset to page past the cap. This query has no project scope of its own, so total is the real matching count only when OPENPROJECT_READ_PROJECTS is unrestricted ("*"); under a restricted scope, total always falls back to this page's item count, and next_offset/truncated are based on whether this page came back full rather than the server's own total, so nothing here ever reveals how many matches exist in projects you can't see. Page until next_offset is null either way.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Even though no annotations are provided, the description is exceptionally transparent about the tool's behavior, especially around pagination and project scoping. It candidly discloses a security-relevant subtlety: 'total always falls back to this page's item count... so nothing here ever reveals how many matches exist in projects you can't see.' This goes far beyond a typical description.

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 dense but efficient. The first sentence states the purpose, and the rest explains non-obvious pagination and scoping behavior. Every sentence earns its place; no fluff.

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?

Given this is a filtered list tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description fully compensates. It explains the tool's limits, the meaning of total, next_offset, and truncated under various scopes, and gives a stop condition for pagination. There's nothing missing for an agent to correctly invoke and interpret results.

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 description coverage is 0% because the input schema only has param names and types, no descriptions. The description explains the critical semantics of 'limit' (capped at OPENPROJECT_MAX_PAGE_SIZE) and 'offset' (use next_offset for pagination). This adds substantial meaning beyond the bare schema definitions.

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 'List the current user's open assigned work packages' with a specific verb and resource. It also implicitly distinguishes itself from siblings like list_work_packages and search_work_packages by focusing on the current user's open assigned items. However, it doesn't explicitly name an alternative tool, so it falls just short of a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit usage guidance around pagination: 'limit is capped at OPENPROJECT_MAX_PAGE_SIZE (default 50); pass the returned next_offset as the next call's offset to page past the cap.' It also explains the behavior under restricted scopes and instructs to 'Page until next_offset is null either way,' which tells when to stop using the tool's output. This is excellent, actionable guidance.

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