getPlans

Read-only

Retrieves project plans from Polarion, supporting query filters, sorting, pagination, and sparse fields. Use it to obtain multiple plans at once instead of fetching each by ID.

Instructions

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

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sortNoComma-separated list of fields to sort by, in priority order; prefix a field with `-` for descending order (e.g. `-updated,title`).
queryNoPolarion Lucene-style query string to filter results: field:value clauses combined with AND/OR, phrases in quotes. Exact supported field names depend on the resource type being queried.
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.
includeNoComma-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.
revisionNoA 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.
projectIdYesThe 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.
templatesNoIf true, only return template resources; if false or omitted, return only actual (non-template) instances.
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.

  4. First observedv1.0.0

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
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: the collection-or-batch cardinality and the exclusion of single-item lookup. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Three short sentences with zero filler. The primary purpose is front-loaded, and the cardinality and sibling-routing sentences each earn their place. Nothing extraneous is included.

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?

With a 100%-covered schema, an output schema, and readOnly/openWorld annotations, the description only needs to handle scope and routing, which it does well. The only gap is not elaborating on what Plans are or the implications of the open-world hint, but these are minor against the rich structured data.

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 is thoroughly documented in the schema itself, which is the baseline-3 case. The description adds no parameter-specific detail beyond hinting at cardinality, but none is needed given the thorough schema.

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 states a specific verb+resource ('Returns a list of Plans') and explicitly names the sibling it is not ('use getPlan instead'). The cardinality note ('targets the full collection or a batch') further pins down the scope. An agent can distinguish this from getPlan without opening either 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?

Names the alternative (getPlan) explicitly and the condition that selects it (single item by ID). The cardinality statement reinforces when this tool is appropriate versus single-item access. Clear routing guidance is provided upfront.

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