list_my_open_work_packages

Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists the current user's open assigned work packages, letting agents inspect active tasks and track progress without manual filtering.

Instructions

List the current user's open assigned work packages.

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.

Each result row also carries custom_fields/custom_comments, selectable or hideable only as a whole field like every other field, with the same shape, caps, and OPENPROJECT_HIDE_CUSTOM_FIELDS key-only hide-matching as list_work_packages -- see that tool's docstring for the full details.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only safety, yet the description still adds substantive behavior: the total field silently degrades to page-count under restricted scope, truncated/next_offset are page-fullness based rather than server-truth, and no cross-project counts leak. That is exactly the kind of non-obvious behavior an agent cannot infer from structured fields.

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 purpose is front-loaded in one line and every following sentence carries information about pagination or field selection. The middle paragraph is long and awkwardly line-wrapped mid-sentence, which slightly hurts readability but not substance.

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?

For a three-optional-parameter read-only list tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers scope, pagination termination, total-count caveats, and custom-field selection caveats. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3, but the description adds the non-obvious rule that custom_fields/custom_comments are selectable or hideable only as whole fields and points to list_work_packages for the full hide-matching semantics. The limit/offset semantics are left entirely to 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?

States a specific verb (List), resource (work packages), and three scoping qualifiers (current user, open, assigned) that cleanly separate it from list_work_packages and search_work_packages. An agent can identify the tool's niche from the first sentence alone.

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?

Gives explicit operational guidance — 'Page until next_offset is null either way' — and explains when total is meaningful versus a page-count fallback. It does not explicitly name an alternative sibling for broader queries, but the implicit scoping is clear.

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