getCurrentEnumOptionsForWorkItem

Read-only

Retrieve the enumeration options currently selected in a Work Item field, resolved to full option objects with ID, name, and color/icon for display or comparison.

Instructions

Returns the enumeration option(s) currently selected in one field of one Work Item, resolved to full option objects (ID, name, color/icon) rather than the bare ID stored on the item. fieldId must be an enumeration-typed field (e.g. status, severity, or a custom enum field). Use it to display or compare the current value; for the options you could switch to use getAvailableEnumOptionsForWorkItem.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`fieldId`	Yes	The ID of an enumeration-typed field (e.g. `status`, `severity`, `priority`, or a custom enum field ID), not its display label. Use the matching getFieldsMetadataFor* tool to discover field IDs.
`revision`	No	A specific repository revision (e.g. `1234`) to read the resource as it existed at that revision instead of the current HEAD. Omit to use the latest revision.
`max_items`	No	Collect up to this many results across pages (maximum 1000). Omit to fetch only the requested page, as before.
`projectId`	Yes	The Polarion project ID (its URL segment, e.g. `myproject`), case-sensitive. Required to scope the request to one project. If the ID is unknown, ask the user; getProjects lists IDs only with global read access.
`page_size_`	No	Maximum number of items to return in this page (e.g. `100`). Use together with `page[number]` to paginate through a large result set.
`workItemId`	Yes	The Work Item's ID within its project (e.g. `WI-123`), not the combined `project/id` path used in some link payloads.
`page_number_`	No	1-based page number to fetch when the result set is paginated (e.g. `2` for the second page). Combine with `page[size]`; omit to fetch the first page.
`response_format`	No	Response detail level. concise removes redundant HTML and JSON:API metadata and may use a small default fieldset on large lists; detailed preserves the complete response. Defaults to detailed.	detailed

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds substantive context beyond that: values are resolved to full option objects (ID, name, color/icon) rather than the stored bare ID, and the field must be enumeration-typed so non-enum fields silently fail. Minor gap: nothing about multi-valued fields returning multiple options beyond the '(s)' hint.

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, front-loaded with the return-value semantics, and the routing note to the sibling comes last. Nothing is padded or repeated.

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?

With an output schema present the description needn't explain the return shape, and annotations cover the read-only profile. Purpose, the enum-field constraint, and the alternative-tool routing are all present, so an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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 every parameter (projectId, workItemId, fieldId, revision, pagination, response_format) is already documented. The description's only parameter-related statement is that fieldId must be enum-typed, which the schema already says verbatim. 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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Returns the enumeration option(s) currently selected in one field of one Work Item') and explicitly distinguishes itself from getAvailableEnumOptionsForWorkItem by contrast. An agent can select it without opening the schema.

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 when-to-use ('display or compare the current value') and names the alternative tool for the other case ('for the options you could switch to use getAvailableEnumOptionsForWorkItem'). No inference required.

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