pve_create_security_group

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. While 'Create' implies a write/mutation operation, the description doesn't specify permissions required, whether this affects running systems, potential side effects, or what happens on success/failure. For a creation tool in a system management context, this lack of behavioral context is a significant gap.

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

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

The description is extremely concise at just three words, with zero wasted language. It's front-loaded with the essential action and resource. Every word earns its place, making it efficient for quick scanning while conveying the core purpose.

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

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

For a creation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what a security group is in this context, what it's used for, what happens after creation, or any behavioral aspects. The agent would need to guess about the tool's effects and appropriate usage scenarios.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters ('group' and 'comment') clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's already in the structured schema. According to scoring rules, when schema coverage is high (>80%), the baseline is 3 even with no param info in the description.

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

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

The description 'Create firewall security group' clearly states the action (create) and resource (firewall security group), which is specific enough to understand the basic purpose. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'pve_create_firewall_alias' or 'pve_create_cluster_firewall_rule', leaving ambiguity about what specifically distinguishes a security group from other firewall-related entities.

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

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With multiple firewall-related creation tools in the sibling list (e.g., pve_create_firewall_alias, pve_create_cluster_firewall_rule, pve_create_vm_firewall_rule), there's no indication of when a security group is appropriate versus other firewall components, nor any prerequisites or exclusions mentioned.

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