clio_create_custom_action

DestructiveIdempotent

Create a custom action in Clio by submitting a JSON arguments payload with project and connector account references. Routes through governed authority to ensure secure, authorized execution.

Instructions

Clio connector operation create_custom_action (platform tool clio.create_custom_action).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

B3.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds meaningful context: the route is project/account governed, writes may require an approval_ref to resume, and the effect parameter is verified by Spring. This helps the agent understand the approval and governance requirements beyond what annotations state.

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 compact and well-organized: an opening title, a routing sentence, and a clear Args list. No words are wasted, though the missing purpose statement prevents a perfect score — the opening line is essentially a name restatement rather than a value-add summary.

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 thoroughly covers parameter semantics and routing but omits the core purpose, when to use the tool, and expected outcomes. While an output schema exists (and could cover return values), an agent still lacks enough context to correctly select this tool among many clio_* siblings, making the description only minimally viable.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the Args block explains all seven parameters with functional meaning: arguments is a JSON string, idempotency_key is a stable business-action identity, effect is a claimed read/write effect verified by Spring, and approval_ref is for resuming a write. This fully compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description begins by restating the tool name and platform identifier ('Clio connector operation `create_custom_action`'), then immediately moves to routing constraints. It never explains what a custom action is or what creating one does in Clio, leaving the agent to infer purpose solely from the name — a tautology.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as clio_update_custom_action or clio_list_custom_actions. The sole statement about routing ('Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority') is a constraint, not a selection criterion, and gives no context for choosing this tool.

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