project_create_describe
Preview project creation in OmniFocus without side effects. Inspect planned changes before committing with the write tool.
Instructions
Preview what project_create would do without making any changes. Do NOT use to actually create a project — use project_create instead. Returns { description, plannedChanges } describing the project that would be created. No side effects: read-only by contract — never mutates OmniFocus. Example: dry-run companion — pass the same args you would to the write tool, inspect plannedChanges, then call the write tool once approved.
