Run the detected project test suite

run_tests

Run tests for Laravel or npm projects, auto-detecting test frameworks and supporting custom working directories and filters.

Instructions

Auto-detects Laravel or npm tests, with optional working directory and test filter.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
cwdNoOptional project-relative working directory. When omitted, the tool auto-detects the relevant app root.
filterNo
targetNoauto
compactNo
projectYesProject key from list_projects.
timeoutSecondsNo
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations provide no safety hints (all false). The description mentions auto-detection but fails to disclose behavioral traits like side effects, output generation, or prerequisites beyond the schema.

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 a single concise sentence that front-loads key purpose and parameters, earning its place without superfluous text.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It omits expected outcomes, error behavior, and prerequisites for a test runner tool.

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 low (33%). The description adds minimal meaning for 'filter' and 'cwd' but doesn't explain 'target', 'compact', or 'timeoutSeconds', which have no schema descriptions.

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 title and description clearly state the tool runs tests, auto-detecting Laravel or npm, which distinguishes it from more specific siblings like run_phpunit or run_eslint.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for auto-detected test suites but does not explicitly guide when to choose this over alternative test runners like run_phpunit or run_eslint.

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