Polarion MCP Server

getPageAttachment

Read-only

Retrieve a specific page attachment from Polarion by its ID. Scoped to project, space, and page name.

Instructions

Returns the specified Page Attachment. Cardinality: targets a single item by ID. For the full collection or a batch, use getPageAttachments 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.
`spaceId`	Yes	The Document Space ID (a folder-like grouping of documents/pages within a project). Use `_default` (no quotes) to address the project's default space.
`pageName`	Yes	The Rich Page's ID/name within its space — its stable identifier, not its display title.
`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.
`projectId`	Yes	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.
`attachmentId`	Yes	The attachment's ID, as returned by the corresponding list- or get-attachments call for this resource.

First observedv1.0.0Jun 13, 2026

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 behavioral context by clarifying that this targets a single item by ID and that a batch alternative exists. Auth details and failure modes are not described, but they are not essential for a read-only single-resource getter with an output schema.

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 short, purposeful sentences: the first names the operationhare, the second pins cardinality and disambiguates from the plural sibling. No filler or redundant wording.

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 a fully documented input schemaại, an output schema, and annotations covering read-only safety, the description provides enough context for correct selection and invocation. The only missing details, such as exact parameter syntax and return shape, are already supplied by the schema and output schema.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, so all parameters are already documented at the schema level. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond saying the item is targeted 'by ID', so the baseline score of 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 specified Page Attachment') and explicitly fixes cardinality to a single item by IDetermined. This clearly distinguishes it from the plural sibling getPageAttachments without needing to inspect 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?

Directly tells the agent when to use this tool versus an alternative: for the full collection or a batch, use getPageAttachments instead. This explicit routing is exactly what an agent needs to select the correct tool.

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