Expand Volumeset Volume

expand_volumeset
Idempotent

Increase the storage capacity of a volume in a volumeset. Live operation — no downtime, no data loss. Throttled: expansion is throttled to 4 per volume per rolling 24 hours — an HTTP 429 means the rolling window is exhausted (waiting briefly will NOT help; wait for the oldest expansion to age out). Available for all filesystem types (ext4, xfs, shared). Recommended reading before first use: get_cpln_skill("stateful-storage") — the runbook for this tool family (read once per session).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
gvcYesGVC slug (lowercase kebab-case). Use the GVC the user named; otherwise discover with list_resources (kind="gvc") and let them choose — never guess (a wrong GVC targets the wrong environment).
orgYesOrganization slug (lowercase kebab-case). NEVER guess — if the user has not named one, ask. On org-not-found, stop and ask; do not retry variants.
nameYesResource name (lowercase kebab-case, starts with a letter, 2-64 chars). Names are IMMUTABLE — renaming = delete + recreate (loses URL, DNS, policy links).
locationYesLocation of the volume to expand (e.g. aws-us-east-2)
volumeIndexYesIndex of the volume to expand
timeoutSecondsNoMaximum time (seconds) to wait for the resize to complete. Optional — server applies a default if omitted.
newStorageCapacityYesNew storage capacity in GB (must be larger than current size). Max 65536.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses significant non-obvious behavior beyond annotations: throttling of 4 expansions per volume per 24 hours, meaning of HTTP 429, that waiting briefly will not help, and no data loss. This is valuable context annotations cannot convey.

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?

Each sentence is purposeful and informative, front-loading the core purpose, then key behaviors (live, throttling, filesystem support, reading). No redundancy or filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Covers live operation, safety, throttling behavior, filesystem compatibility, and recommended reading. Combined with a rich schema and output schema, nothing critical is left unexplained.

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 covers 100% of parameters with detailed descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific guidance beyond what the schema already provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Increase the storage capacity of a volume in a volumeset' with a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_volumeset, update_volumeset, or mount_volumeset_to_workload.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides clear usage context: live operation, no downtime/data loss, available for all filesystem types, and a recommended runbook. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use, so it stops short of a 5.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Every tool targets a distinct resource/action pair (e.g., get_resource vs get_resource_schema, list_deployments vs list_workload_replicas) and descriptions clearly differentiate purposes. No two tools appear to do the same thing.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (create_gvc, update_workload, list_resources, query_metrics) with consistent verbs. The few imperative verbs (browse, build, mount) still maintain the same verb-first structure.

Tool Count1/5

With 55 tools, this server far exceeds the typical well-scoped 3-15 tool range. While each tool appears purposeful, the sheer number creates selection overhead and falls into the extreme 50+ category on the rubric.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers nearly the full Control Plane lifecycle: CRUD for GVC, workload, identity, policy, volumeset, and domain, plus observability, templates, image builds, and Terraform. Minor gaps include referenced but missing configure_workload_* tools and no secret creation/deletion (by design).
