getTestRunComments

Read-only

Retrieve paginated comments attached to a test run in a Polarion project, with optional field selection and revision filtering.

Instructions

Returns a list of Test Run Comments. Cardinality: targets the full collection or a batch. For a single item by ID, use getTestRunComment 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.
`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.
`testRunId`	Yes	The Test Run's ID within its project.
`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.

A4.2/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already discloses the safety profile, so the description does not need to repeat that. The description adds the cardinality trait (collection or batch), which is useful, but otherwise provides no additional behavioral context such as pagination behavior or response shape. This is adequate but not rich.

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 sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded, and the distinguishing alternative is stated immediately. Every word earns its place.

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 complete input schema, an output schema, and readOnly/openWorld annotations, the description covers the essential selection and invocation context. The only minor gap is that the 'batch' mechanism is not elaborated, but paging parameters in the schema already cover that.

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 the input schema already fully documents all seven parameters. The description does not add parameter-level meaning beyond the schema, which matches the baseline-3 case where the schema carries the weight.

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 and resource ('Returns a list of Test Run Comments') and clarifies cardinality ('full collection or a batch'). It explicitly distinguishes itself from the single-item sibling getTestRunComment, so an agent can select the right tool without opening schemas.

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 gives explicit routing guidance: for a single item by ID, use getTestRunComment instead. This directly addresses when to prefer an alternative, which is exactly what an agent needs to disambiguate between the collection and single-item tools.

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