postProjectTestParameterDefinitions

Creates Test Parameter Definitions in a Polarion project from supplied names and attributes. Use it to add new definitions; existing ones are inspected with getProjectTestParameterDefinitions and updated with patch.

Instructions

Creates Test Parameter Definitions for a project. Supply each definition’s name and supported attributes; use getProjectTestParameterDefinitions to inspect existing definitions and patchProjectTestParameterDefinitions to update them. 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.

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.
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 Test Parameter Definition(s) body.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare non-read-only, non-idempotent behavior, but the description adds useful context: repeating the call may create additional resources, and dry-run returns a redacted preview. It does not cover permission requirements, which keeps it from 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?

The purpose and alternatives are front-loaded and most sentences earn their place. The final sentence about how the executor returns previews is somewhat meta and could be trimmed for tighter focus.

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 a mutation tool with full annotations, complete schema descriptions, and an output schema, the description covers purpose, alternatives, idempotency consequences, and dry-run validation. Nothing critical for correct invocation is missing.

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 coverage is 100%, so parameter meaning is already well documented. The description adds only a brief note about supplying each definition’s name and supported attributes; most of its parameter value is repetition of the 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 and resource: 'Creates Test Parameter Definitions for a project.' It also explicitly distinguishes this tool from the get and patch siblings, so an agent can tell it apart 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 names the alternative tools for reading and updating, and gives a concrete validation step: use `dry_run: true` first. There is no ambiguity about when to call this versus its siblings.

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