storage_container_create

Create a storage container on a Nutanix cluster, specifying name, cluster ID, and replication factor for data resilience.

Instructions

[WRITE][risk=medium] Create a storage container on a cluster.

Args:
    name: New storage container name.
    cluster_ext_id: Target cluster extId (from cluster_list).
    replication_factor: Copies kept per block (default 2).
    target: Prism Central target name from config; omit for the default.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, description must carry burden. Only indicates WRITE and risk=medium. No details on auth, side effects, or what happens on success/failure.

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?

Extremely concise: header with risk tag and bulleted args. No unnecessary words.

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?

No output schema, so return value not explained. Parameter info adequate but basic. Sibling tools not referenced. Could add return info and parameter constraints.

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 coverage is 0%, description adds brief context for each parameter (e.g., 'from cluster_list', 'Copies kept per block'). Adds value but could be more detailed (e.g., valid ranges).

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 clearly states 'Create a storage container on a cluster' with verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like storage_container_list, delete, update.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use or when not to use. Mentions cluster_ext_id from cluster_list but no alternatives or exclusions.

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