getTestRunTestParameterDefinitions

Read-only

Returns a list of Test Parameter Definitions for a specified Test Run, letting you inspect parameter metadata in one call.

Instructions

Returns a list of Test Parameter Definitions for the specified Test Run. Cardinality: targets the full collection or a batch. For a single item by ID, use getTestRunTestParameterDefinition instead.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`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.
`max_items`	No	Collect up to this many results across pages (maximum 1000). Omit to fetch only the requested page, as before.
`projectId`	Yes	The Polarion project ID (its URL segment, e.g. `myproject`), case-sensitive. Required to scope the request to one project. If the ID is unknown, ask the user; getProjects lists IDs only with global read access.
`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.
`response_format`	No	Response detail level. concise removes redundant HTML and JSON:API metadata and may use a small default fieldset on large lists; detailed preserves the complete response. Defaults to detailed.	detailed

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`data`	No
`meta`	No
`links`	No
`included`	No	Related entities might be returned, see <a href="https://docs.sw.siemens.com/en-US/doc/230235217/PL20250606201928474.polarion_help_sc.xid2134849/xid2134871" target="_blank">REST API User Guide</a>.

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 safety and access profile is covered. The description adds the collection-vs-batch scope, which is genuinely useful, but says nothing about pagination behavior, default field set, or how max_items interacts with paging — all of which are left entirely to the 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 sentences, the primary purpose front-loaded, and the alternative routing second. Nothing redundant and nothing that simply restates the schema.

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?

For a read-only list tool with an output schema, full parameter documentation and annotations, the description covers what is needed to select and call it correctly. The only minor gap is not hinting at large-result pagination strategy, which the schema covers but the description could reinforce.

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 one of the nine parameters is already documented in detail (fields, include, revision, max_items, page_size_/page_number_, response_format). The description adds no parameter-level guidance, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 (returns a list), a specific resource (Test Parameter Definitions), and the scoping parent (the specified Test Run). It also names the singular sibling it is contrasted with, so an agent can distinguish it from getTestRunTestParameterDefinition without opening any 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?

Explicitly states the cardinality it targets (full collection or batch) and names the alternative tool plus the condition that selects it (single item by ID). This is textbook when-to-use/when-not routing.

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