postTestRecordTestParameters

Creates Test Parameters for a specified Test Record in Polarion; use dry_run to validate arguments and preview the request before creating resources.

Instructions

Creates a list of Test Parameters for the specified Test Record. 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.
iterationYesThe iteration number identifying which repeated occurrence of this item is being addressed (e.g. which run of a test parameter).
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.
testRunIdYesThe Test Run's ID within its project.
testCaseIdYesThe Test Case's ID being referenced.
requestBodyYesThe Test Parameter(s) body.
testCaseProjectIdYesThe project ID that owns the referenced Test Case — may differ from the project in the request path when the test case is shared from another project.

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and idempotentHint=false. The description reinforces the non-idempotent behavior with the concrete consequence ('may create additional resources') and adds a dry-run validation path with the note that the preview comes back as text and structured content. That is real value beyond the annotations, though it omits auth/permission requirements.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, followed by effect, idempotency caveat and the dry-run tip. It is a compact block of distinct facts with little waste, though the final sentence about executor preview mechanics is somewhat peripheral.

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 7-parameter mutation tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description covers purpose, mutation effect, idempotency risk and a safe validation route. What remains missing is sibling differentiation and any note on nested requestBody semantics such as required name/value attributes.

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 parameter including dry_run, iteration and testCaseProjectId is already documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond what is there, which is the baseline-3 case when the schema carries the load.

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 Test Parameters for a specified Test Record. The 'Test Record' scoping implicitly distinguishes it from sibling tools such as postTestRunTestParameters and postTestRunParameterDefinitions, though it never names those alternatives explicitly.

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?

Offers one concrete usage tip (call with dry_run: true first to validate and preview), which is genuine guidance. It does not, however, say when to prefer this over the closely related post/postTestRunTestParameters variants or what prerequisites exist, leaving the main selection decision to inference.

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