## Description

**As** a user of MCP  
**I want to** receive an efficient amount of data when searching for work packages by default, with an option to retrieve full details  
**so that** I do not experience long wait times or context limit issues, while still having the ability to access complete information when needed

**Acceptance criteria**

*   The default search response returns only a specific subset of attributes: Subject, Type, Author, Status, ID, Start/End-Date, and Assignee.
    
*   The default search response explicitly excludes the "Description" field.
    
*   The search tool accepts a parameter that can be used to switch between full and condensed responses
    

**Technical notes**

*   Suggested parameter names: `expand` or `returnAllData` (or something better than my suggestions).
    
*   Double check what should be included in the "small subset". Maybe something is missing.
    
*   It should be written in the tool description what attributes are return in compact mode to make it easier for the LLM to decide if expanded mode is needed
    

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

*   Available to all users using MCP
