pyp6xer_wbs_analysis

Read-onlyIdempotent

Analyze WBS hierarchy with task counts and cost rollups per node. View direct and total activity counts, schedule range, and cost summary.

Instructions

Return the WBS hierarchy with task counts and cost rollups per node.

Shows each WBS element's direct and total (rolled-up) activity counts, schedule range, and cost summary.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, covering safety. The description adds value by specifying output contents (direct/total counts, schedule range, cost summary), which helps the agent understand the return format beyond basic annotations.

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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the core action and resources, the second elaborates on output details. Ideal structure for quick comprehension.

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 the tool has an output schema, the description adequately covers the return value (hierarchy with counts and cost rollups). All necessary context (parameters, behavior) is provided by schema and annotations. No gaps.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the input schema fully documents both parameters. The description does not add further semantic meaning; it only reiterates the purpose. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 returns the WBS hierarchy with task counts and cost rollups per node, using a specific verb ('Return') and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like pyp6xer_work_package_summary by focusing on hierarchical structure and rollups.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pyp6xer_work_package_summary or pyp6xer_progress_summary. The description implies usage for exploring WBS structure, but lacks when-not-to-use or context for selection.

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