Polarion MCP Server

getJobs

Read-only

List Polarion jobs for a project, with pagination and optional field filtering to reduce payload.

Instructions

Returns the list of Jobs. Cardinality: targets the full collection or a batch. For a single item by ID, use getJob instead.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`fields`	No	Sparse 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.
`include`	No	Comma-separated list of related resource types to embed in the response (e.g. `author,attachments`) so they don't require a separate follow-up call. Omit to return only the primary resource.
`projectId`	No	The Polarion project ID (its URL segment, e.g. `myproject`), case-sensitive. Required to scope the request to one project; call getProjects to list valid IDs.
`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.
`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.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare `readOnlyHint: true` and `openWorldHint: true`, so the description's 'Returns the list of Jobs' adds little safety context. However, the cardinality note ('full collection or a batch') is a behavioral nuance not covered by annotations, providing some added value. No contradictions or missing side-effect warnings.

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 only two sentences, with the primary purpose stated first and the alternative routing second. There is zero fluff; every word adds value. This is a model of concise front-loaded writing.

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

Completeness4/5

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

An output schema is present, so return values are documented externally. The schema fully covers the 5 optional parameters. The description covers the purpose, cardinality, and the key alternative. It omits only peripheral context like authentication/authz, which is typical for these tools. This is complete enough for a read-only list operation.

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 (fields, include, projectId, page_size_, page_number_) already carries a detailed description. The tool description adds no parameter-specific insights, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate given the high schema coverage.

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 list of Jobs' with an explicit cardinality note ('full collection or a batch') and immediately distinguishes it from the sibling `getJob` for single-item fetches. This makes the purpose unambiguous and well-differentiated from the large set of sibling tools.

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?

It explicitly tells the agent when NOT to use this tool ('For a single item by ID, use `getJob` instead.'), which is a clear exclusion. While it doesn't mention every alternative, for the primary decision (collection vs. single) it gives direct guidance. The presence of sibling `getJob` reinforces the clarity.

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