create_firewall_group_rule

Add a rule to a firewall security group, specifying action (ACCEPT/DROP/REJECT), direction (in/out), enable status, and optional source, destination, protocol, ports, macro, or comment.

Instructions

Add a rule to a firewall security group.

Args: group: Security group name. action: 'ACCEPT', 'DROP', 'REJECT'. type: 'in', 'out'. enable: 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled. source: Source address/range. dest: Destination address/range. proto: Protocol. sport: Source port(s). dport: Destination port(s). macro: Predefined macro. comment: Description.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond parameter descriptions. It omits details on idempotency, validation behavior, success/failure outcomes, or any side effects.

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 description is concise with a clear purpose line followed by an 'Args' block. It avoids unnecessary exposition but could benefit from a more structured format (e.g., parameter types) and front-loading critical behavioral notes.

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?

The description covers all 11 parameters adequately, but lacks contextual details such as prerequisites (group must exist), rule application timing, or conflict resolution with existing rules. Given the complexity, this is a notable gap.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description adds value by explaining each parameter. It provides valid values for 'action' (ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT) and 'enable' (1/0), which are not in the schema as enums. However, other parameters like 'proto', 'sport', 'dport' lack detailed format guidance.

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?

Description clearly states 'Add a rule to a firewall security group' which is a specific verb and resource. The name itself differentiates from sibling tools that create firewall rules for other scopes (cluster, container, VM), but no explicit differentiation is provided.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_cluster_firewall_rule or create_vm_firewall_rule. No prerequisites (e.g., group must exist) or when-not-to-use scenarios are mentioned.

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