createEnvironment

Set up an environment for a test target, including discovery URL, test account login, and header configuration to enable automated testing.

Instructions

the createEnvironment tool can create an environment for a given test target. an environment represents a specific setup or deployments for a test target. It include a test account when necsesary to login, a header configuration, a discovery url and a set of variables.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesName of the environment
basicAuthNoOptional basic authentication credentials, if discovery needs authentication
testAccountNoOptional test account credentials, if discovery needs authentication
discoveryUrlYesURL used for test discovery
testTargetIdYesUnique identifier of the test target
privateLocationNameNoOptional name of the private location, if discovery needs to discover in a private location e.g. behind a firewall or VPNUS Proxy
additionalHeaderFieldsNoOptional additional HTTP header fields, if discovery needs additional headers to be set
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions components like test account and headers but does not describe important behaviors such as idempotency, side effects, or prerequisites (e.g., must the test target already exist?).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is brief (two sentences) but contains typos ('necsesary') and awkward phrasing ('It include'). It front-loads the main action but wastes space on incomplete component listing. Could be more polished.

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 conveys the core purpose and main components, but given the complexity (7 params, nested objects, no output schema, no annotations), it lacks depth on parameter relationships, expected behavior, and output. Missing information about the 'variables' concept.

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?

The input schema covers all 7 parameters with descriptions, achieving 100% coverage. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, mentioning 'set of variables' which does not correspond to any parameter, causing slight confusion. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly states that the tool creates an environment for a test target and explains what an environment represents (setup, deployments, test account, etc.). However, it does not explicitly differentiate this tool from sibling tools like createTestTarget or updateEnvironment.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., updateEnvironment, discovery). The description only states what the tool does, without any when-to-use or when-not-to-use context.

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