Polarion MCP Server

createProject

Creates a new Polarion project from a unique project ID and template settings, and supports dry-run validation before the server-side action.

Instructions

Creates a new Polarion project and returns the created project resource. Supply a unique project ID and any required template configuration; the signed-in user must have project creation permission. Use getProjectTemplates first when selecting a template, or markProject to register existing repository data as a project. Effect: triggers a server-side action rather than a plain resource creation — whether repeating it is safe, a no-op, or rejected depends on the specific action; treat it as not guaranteed idempotent. Tip: set dry_run: true first to validate the arguments and preview the exact request without sending it to Polarion. The executor returns this preview as normal text, and as structured content when the tool declares an output schema.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`dry_run`	No	If true, validates the request and returns the exact request that would be sent to Polarion — with the Authorization header redacted and any binary payload summarized by byte length — without actually sending it.
`requestBody`	Yes	Create project parameters.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`data`	No

TDQS

A4.6/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, openWorld=true and idempotentHint=false, so the safety profile is known. The description still adds value beyond them by disclosing the permission requirement and fleshing out the non-idempotency caveat ("whether repeating it is safe, a no-op, or rejected depends on the specific action"). It stops short of saying what server-side side effects actually occur, which keeps it from a 5.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, then prerequisites, alternatives, idempotency, and the dry-run tip in a sensible order. The closing sentence about how the executor surfaces the preview (plain text vs. structured content) is meta-tooling detail that is somewhat tangential and could be trimmed.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and annotations cover safety hints. Given a mutation tool with nested request bodies, the description still supplies permission requirements, sibling routing, idempotency caveat, and a safe validation path — nothing essential for a correct first call 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 the baseline is 3; however the description adds the uniqueness constraint on project ID ("unique project ID") and frames `templateId` as optional template configuration, which is meaning beyond the raw field descriptions. The `dry_run` behavior is also explained, though largely echoing the schema description for that field.

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?

Opens with a specific verb and resource ("Creates a new Polarion project") and states the return ("returns the created project resource"). It actively distinguishes itself from nearby siblings by naming `markProject` as the alternative for registering existing repository data and `getProjectTemplates` for template lookup.

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?

Gives explicit routing: call `getProjectTemplates` first when selecting a template, use `markProject` instead to register existing repository data. It also states the prerequisite (project creation permission) and recommends `dry_run: true` before the real call, so both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are covered.

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