Polarion MCP Server

postPageComments

Add page comments in Polarion by supplying project, space, page ID, and comment body. Use dry_run to preview the request before sending.

Instructions

Creates a list of Page Comments. Effect: creates a new resource on each call — calling it again with the same input creates a duplicate; it is not idempotent. Tip: set dry_run: true first to preview the exact request Polarion would receive, without changing anything. On tools with a typed output schema, this preview is returned as an error-flagged result since it is not real tool output -- read the text content regardless of that flag.

Input Schema

TableJSON 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.
pageNameYesThe Rich Page's ID/name within its space — its stable identifier, not its display title.
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.
requestBodyYesThe Comment(s) body.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description goes beyond the annotations by explicitly warning that calling it again with the same input creates a duplicate and that the operation is not idempotent. It also discloses the dry_run preview behavior, including the important quirk that the preview is returned as an error-flagged result, which is valuable context for agents interpreting output.

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?

The description is concise and well-structured: purpose first, then behavioral effect, then a practical tip with a necessary caveat. Every sentence adds value and no redundant content is present.

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?

Given the rich input schema, output schema, and annotations, the description covers the essential behavioral context an agent needs: creation semantics, non-idempotency, and dry_run usage. It does not need to restate parameter or return details already present in 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?

The input schema has 100% parameter description coverage, so the description does not need to re-explain parameters. It adds some emphasis on dry_run, but this is already documented in the schema. Baseline 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?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Creates a list of Page Comments.' This clearly identifies the tool's action and target, and distinguishes it from sibling tools like getPageComments or patchPageComment. The additional effect statement reinforces that it creates new resources.

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?

The description clearly implies use when creating page comments, and the dry_run tip is practical guidance for safe invocation. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives such as postDocumentComments or patchPageComment, so usage context is implied rather than fully specified.

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