postDocuments

Creates one or more documents in a Polarion project space; use dry_run to validate and preview the request before sending.

Instructions

Creates a list of Documents. Effect: creates a new resource. Repeating this call may create additional resources; it is not guaranteed idempotent. Tip: set dry_run: true first to validate the arguments and preview the exact request without sending it to Polarion. The executor returns this preview as normal text, and as structured content when the tool declares an output schema. Examples: {"projectId":"myproject","spaceId":"_default","requestBody":{"data":[{"type":"documents","attributes":{"title":"Requirements"}}]}}.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dry_runNoIf true, validates the request and returns the exact request that would be sent to Polarion — with the Authorization header redacted and any binary payload summarized by byte length — without actually sending it.
spaceIdYesThe Document Space ID (a folder-like grouping of documents/pages within a project). Use `_default` (no quotes) to address the project's default space.
projectIdYesThe 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.
requestBodyYesThe Document body.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Goes beyond the annotations by spelling out the non-idempotent consequence in operational terms ('repeating this call may create additional resources') and by describing a validate-only dry-run path and how the preview is returned. It still does not disclose auth/permission requirements or any batch-size limits, so not a 5.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the effect and the idempotency caveat, then the dry-run tip, then an example — a sensible ordering. The sentence about the executor returning preview as text or structured content is mildly meta and could be trimmed, but nothing is seriously wasteful.

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 exists so return values need no explanation; the dry_run escape hatch and a full example cover most of what an agent needs for a nested-object mutation. Gaps remain around permissions and whether the target space must pre-exist, but overall it is call-ready.

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 schema already documents projectId, spaceId, requestBody and dry_run in depth; baseline is 3. The description adds a concrete example payload showing the nested data/attributes shape, which is somewhat helpful, but no semantics beyond what the schema states.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: 'Creates a list of Documents' — an agent knows this is a batch-create for documents. It does not name a sibling to contrast with (e.g., patchDocument for updates, postPages for pages), so it falls short of a 5, but the purpose is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied — you call it to create documents. The one actionable guidance is the `dry_run: true` validation tip, which is genuinely useful. There is no statement of when to use this instead of patchDocument/postPages/importWordDocument, nor any prerequisites about the target space existing.

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