check_control_plane_group_membership

Check whether a specified control plane belongs to any group and retrieve membership details including group ID, name, status, and conflicts.

Instructions

Check if a control plane is a member of any group.

INPUT:

  • controlPlaneId: String - ID of the control plane to check

OUTPUT:

  • controlPlaneId: String - ID of the control plane that was checked

  • groupMembership: Object - Membership information including:

    • isMember: Boolean - Whether the control plane is a member of any group

    • groupId: String - ID of the group this control plane belongs to (if any)

    • groupName: String - Name of the group this control plane belongs to

    • status: String - Membership status (OK, CONFLICT, etc.)

    • message: String - Status message

    • conflicts: Array - List of configuration conflicts if any

  • relatedTools: Array - List of related tools for group management

Tool Definition Quality

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It details output fields including conflicts, but does not state whether the operation is read-only or if there are side effects. Basic transparency but incomplete.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose, includes separate input/output sections, but slightly verbose by repeating input parameter description already in schema.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given no output schema, description provides detailed output structure with nested fields. However, lacks error handling or behavior for missing control plane ID, and no explanation of 'relatedTools'.

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 has 100% coverage for the single parameter, and the description repeats the schema's text. Adds no additional meaning beyond what schema 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 clearly states the tool checks if a control plane is a member of any group. It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from the sibling 'list_control_plane_group_memberships' which lists all memberships for a group.

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 this tool versus alternatives like 'list_control_plane_group_memberships' or 'list_control_planes'. Context is implied but not stated.

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