getGlobalEnumerations

Read-only

Fetch global enumerations spanning all projects, with pagination and field selection to reduce payload.

Instructions

Returns a list of Enumerations from the Global context. Scope: spans every project (no project filter). To act on a single project, use getProjectEnumerations instead. Cardinality: targets the full collection or a batch. For a single item by ID, use getGlobalEnumeration instead.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fieldsNoSparse fieldset selector: an object keyed by resource type (e.g. `workitems`) whose value is a comma-separated list of attribute names to return (e.g. `id,title,status`), reducing payload size. Omit to return the default field set.
page_size_NoMaximum number of items to return in this page (e.g. `100`). Use together with `page[number]` to paginate through a large result set.
page_number_No1-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.

  3. Added

TDQS

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, covering the safety profile. The description adds useful context about scope (global) and cardinality (batch vs. full collection), which goes beyond what annotations provide. It does not contradict annotations and adds enough behavioral context for a read-only list operation.

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 three sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states purpose, the second gives scope and an alternative, and the third gives cardinality and another alternative. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and efficiently routes the agent to the correct sibling tools.

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 that an output schema exists and annotations cover the safety profile, the description is complete for an agent to call the tool correctly. It covers scope, cardinality, and sibling differentiation. There is no missing information an agent would need, such as prerequisites or response format, because those are handled by the output schema and annotations.

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%, with detailed descriptions for fields, page_size_, and page_number_. The tool description does not add any parameter-specific information beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate. The mention of 'batch' aligns with pagination parameters but doesn't explain them further.

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 a list of Enumerations from the Global context, using a specific verb and resource. It explicitly differentiates from sibling tools by specifying scope (every project) and naming alternatives (getProjectEnumerations for a single project, getGlobalEnumeration for a single item). This makes it unambiguous which tool an agent should select.

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?

The description provides explicit usage context: it targets the global scope, warns that it spans every project, and gives precise alternatives with the conditions for using them. It also mentions cardinality (full collection or batch), covering both when to use this tool and when to use siblings.

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