Create an Identity

create_identity

Create a new identity in a GVC. Provider blocks can provision real resources in the connected cloud account, including AWS IAM roles, GCP service accounts, and Azure managed identities. Optionally seed networkResources (agent-based) and nativeNetworkResources (PrivateLink / PSC). Identities are assigned to workloads via spec.identityLink.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`aws`	No	AWS cloud-identity block. Binds the identity to an AWS cloud account so workloads can assume the role.
`gcp`	No	GCP cloud-identity block. Binds the identity to a GCP service account / bindings on cloud resources.
`gvc`	Yes	GVC slug. If the user named none, list_resources (kind "gvc") and let them choose.
`ngs`	No	NGS cloud-identity block. Binds the identity to a NATS account for pub/sub permissions. Shape: {cloudAccountLink, pub: {allow: [], deny: []}, sub: {allow: [], deny: []}, resp: {max, ttl}, subs, data, payload}; -1 means no limit.
`org`	No	Organization slug.
`name`	Yes	Resource name. Immutable: renaming is delete and recreate.
`tags`	No	Optional tags for the identity.
`azure`	No	Azure cloud-identity block. Binds the identity to an Azure managed identity with role assignments.
`description`	No	Identity description.
`spicedbAccess`	No	Grant access to SpiceDB clusters (max 5).
`memcacheAccess`	No	Grant access to memcache clusters (max 5).
`networkResources`	No	Agent-based network resources (cloud wormhole). Max 50 (nativeNetworkResources has its own separate limit); names/FQDNs share one namespace across both arrays. Shape: [{name, agentLink, IPs: [ipv4] or FQDN, resolverIP, ports: []}].
`nativeNetworkResources`	No	Optional cloud-native network resources (AWS PrivateLink, GCP PSC). Each item requires name, ports, and exactly one provider block. Max 50 (networkResources has its own separate limit); names/FQDNs share one namespace across both arrays. Shape: [{name, FQDN, ports: [], and exactly one of awsPrivateLink {endpointServiceName} or gcpServiceConnect {targetService: projects/PROJECT/regions/REGION/serviceAttachments/NAME}}].

A3.6/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true). The description adds material context beyond them: provider blocks provision real resources in the connected cloud account (IAM roles, service accounts, managed identities), which is a notable external side effect an agent should anticipate. It stops short of stating idempotency or 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?

The purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, followed by three dense but informative sentences. Given the 13-parameter, multi-provider surface, each sentence earns its place, though the final sentence on assignment feels slightly detached from 'create'.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the schema richly documents nested provider blocks. The description still omits preconditions (cloud account linkage, required permissions), create-vs-update routing, and any limits behavior for the access arrays, leaving gaps for a high-complexity mutation tool.

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 the schema carries the parameter burden and 3 is the baseline. The description adds a useful distinction between networkResources (agent-based) and nativeNetworkResources (PrivateLink/PSC) and explains the identityLink assignment mechanism, but adds no syntax or default details beyond the schema.

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?

The first sentence names a specific verb and resource ('Create a new identity in a GVC'), and the following sentences clarify the tool's scope: it provisions real cloud resources across AWS/GCP/Azure and optionally seeds network resources. It does not distinguish itself from the sibling update_identity, so an agent must infer create-vs-modify from the name alone.

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?

Usage is implied by the creation context and the note that identities are assigned to workloads via spec.identityLink, which hints at the broader workflow. However, there is no explicit when-to-use vs when-not, no mention of preconditions (e.g., a cloud account must already exist), and no routing to the sibling update_identity for modifying existing identities.

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