Update a Volumeset

update_volumeset
DestructiveIdempotent

Update mutable volumeset fields: description, tags, initialCapacity (for newly-provisioned volumes), snapshot policy, autoscaling, mountOptions. snapshots/autoscaling/mountOptions REPLACE the entire stored object — include every field you want to keep. Filesystem type and performance class are IMMUTABLE — to change either, snapshot first and recreate. customEncryption: CLI cpln apply only. Changing initialCapacity does not resize existing volumes; run_volumeset_command expandVolume grows them.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
gvcYesGVC name.
orgNoOrganization slug.
nameYesResource name. Immutable: renaming is delete and recreate.
tagsNoAdd or update tags without replacing the full set. Submit an empty list to clear all tags.
snapshotsNoREPLACES the entire snapshot policy: include every field you want to keep. A retentionDuration left out keeps the current one, or 7d when there is none.
autoscalingNoREPLACES the entire autoscaling object — include every field you want to keep (omitted fields are removed).
descriptionNoNew description.
mountOptionsNoREPLACES the entire mountOptions object (shared-filesystem volume sets only) — include every field you want to keep.
removeTagKeysNoTag keys to remove from the resource.
initialCapacityNoUpdate the initialCapacity (note: existing volumes do not shrink; run_volumeset_command expandVolume grows them live).
removeSnapshotsNotrue deletes spec.snapshots (stops the automatic snapshot schedule).
removeAutoscalingNotrue deletes spec.autoscaling (volumes stop auto-growing).
removeMountOptionsNotrue deletes spec.mountOptions (reverts to platform mount defaults).

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations that mark the tool destructive and idempotent, the description discloses the critical replace semantics for snapshots, autoscaling, and mountOptions: omitting fields removes them. It also warns that initialCapacity does not resize existing volumes and identifies immutable fields, which materially affects safe invocation.

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?

The description is dense but front-loaded, listing mutable fields first and then immediately stating destructive replace semantics and immutability constraints. Despite covering many parameters, every sentence carries operational guidance and there is no 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?

With a complete input schema and an output schema present, the description still supplies the high-risk behavioral context an agent needs for a destructive update: replacement rules, immutable fields, unsupported fields, and the capacity-expansion alternative. Nothing critical for correct invocation is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds important cross-parameter semantics not fully conveyed by the schema alone, especially replacement behavior and the immutability of filesystem type and performance class. The explicit distinction between initialCapacity and run_volumeset_command expandVolume is also valuable parameter-level guidance.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource ('Update mutable volumeset fields') and enumerates exactly which fields are mutable. It also distinguishes the tool from the sibling run_volumeset_command by explaining that expanding existing volumes is done there, not via initialCapacity.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives explicit when-to-use guidance: update mutable fields here, snapshot and recreate for immutable filesystem type or performance class, use `cpln apply` for customEncryption, and use run_volumeset_command expandVolume to grow existing volumes. These are concrete alternatives and exclusions rather than implied usage.

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