Open Project for Editing

openl_open_project

Open a project for editing at a specific Git branch or revision before modifying tables or rules.

Instructions

Open a project for editing. Supports opening on specific branches or viewing specific Git revisions. Use this before making changes to project tables or rules.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
branchNoOpen project on a specific Git branch (e.g., 'main', 'development', 'feature/new-rules')
revisionNoOpen project at a specific Git revision/commit hash for read-only viewing
projectIdYesProject ID returned by backend. Use the exact 'projectId' value from openl_list_projects() response without modification or reformatting.
response_formatNoResponse format: 'json' for structured, round-trippable data (default), 'markdown' for human-readable output, 'markdown_concise' for a brief summary (1-2 paragraphs), or 'markdown_detailed' for full details with contextjson
openDependenciesNoAlso open dependency projects (backend default false).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations only provide openWorldHint, so the description carries most of the behavioral burden. It does communicate that opening is a preparatory/editing action and that revision mode is for viewing, but it does not disclose side effects such as whether the currently open project is replaced, whether resources are locked, or what state the project enters.

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?

Three concise sentences, each earning its place: core action, branch/revision capability, and workflow placement. No filler or redundant restatement of structured fields.

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

Completeness3/5

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

No output schema exists, yet the description does not explain what the tool returns or what 'opening' changes in the current work context. The required parameter, branch/revision modes, and suggested usage are present, making it operable, but the stateful behavior and return semantics remain under-specified.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, and all parameters have clear descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The main description adds a high-level branch/revision framing but does not materially enrich the parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides.

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 and resource: 'Open a project for editing.' The description also distinguishes the tool from read-only alternatives by emphasizing it is the prerequisite before changing tables or rules, and by contrasting branch-based editing with Git revision viewing.

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 when-to-use guidance: 'Use this before making changes to project tables or rules.' It does not name sibling alternatives or state when not to use it, so it stops short of a full 5.

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