Create agent config

configs_create

Compiles and saves an immutable agent config (instruction, model, tools, machine_sources, and more) from YAML or JSON and returns it. Sending the same source again returns the existing config, as long as its names still resolve to the same resources.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
orgIDYesOrganization ID (org_...).
sourceYesAgent config source as YAML or JSON text, or, with source_format json, as a JSON object.
projectIDYesProject ID (proj_...).
source_formatYesFormat of source: yaml or json.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly=false, destructive=false, openWorld=false, so the safety profile is covered; the description adds real value by disclosing that configs are immutable, that the source is compiled/validated, and that re-sending identical source returns the existing config. One nuance: this get-or-create behavior sits in tension with idempotentHint=false, though the 'as long as its names still resolve' caveat partly reconciles it.

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?

Two sentences with no filler; the core action and the dedup caveat are both front-loaded and every clause carries information an agent can act on.

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 4-parameter create tool with a large nested schema but no output schema, the description covers the essentials: what gets created, immutability, compilation, and repeat-call semantics. It says only 'returns it' about the response and never mentions failure behavior on compile/validation errors, which is the main remaining gap.

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% and every parameter carries its own description (orgID, projectID, source, source_format), so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description's mention of YAML/JSON and listed config fields only echoes what the schema already documents.

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 pair (compiles and saves), the resource (an immutable agent config), the source formats (YAML or JSON), and the major content areas (instruction, model, tools, machine_sources). It does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling configs_get or explain the relation to agents_launch, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

No explicit 'use this when' guidance or named alternatives among the many siblings (configs_get, agents_launch, profiles_create). The one usage-relevant statement is the re-submission/dedup rule, which is implied context rather than routing guidance.

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