ise_openapi_radius_authorization_create

Create a RADIUS network access authorization rule by posting JSON data to a specified policy set ID in Cisco ISE, enabling granular access control for authenticated users.

Instructions

[Policy: Network Access] Network Access - Create authorization rule. (POST /api/v1/policy/network-access/policy-set/{id}/authorization)

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesPath parameter 'id'.
dataYesJSON request body.
deploymentNoTarget ISE deployment: name ('RADIUS Only'), slug ('radius-only'), or number ('1' or 'Deployment 1'). Omit to use the only/default deployment. Call ise_list_deployments to see the choices.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not state that this is a mutating/create operation's implications (e.g., requiring admin privileges, being irreversible, affecting network access enforcement). The description confirms 'Create' but adds no detail about consequences, required auth, or response behavior.

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 a single compact line with the method, resource, and endpoint path. The deployment parameter description is informative and front-loads the key routing decision. No wasted words, though the endpoint string is somewhat redundant with the tool name.

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

Completeness2/5

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

This is a create/mutation operation with nested object data ('data' is an object with unspecified structure), no annotations, no output schema, and a complex policy-set authorization context. The description provides almost no guidance on the structure of the 'data' body, required fields, or what constitutes a valid authorization rule. For a tool whose primary payload is an opaque JSON object, this is a significant completeness gap.

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 description coverage is 100%, with each parameter having at least a basic description ('Path parameter id.', 'JSON request body', target deployment guidance). The description adds no param details beyond the schema, but the deployment parameter does get useful context ('Omit to use the only/default deployment', pointer to ise_list_deployments). With 100% coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description states the HTTP method (POST) and resource path clearly: 'Create authorization rule' with the API endpoint. It identifies the tool as a create operation on authorization rules within a policy set. However, it doesn't add much beyond the tool name and path; the parenthetical endpoint reference is the main differentiator from the many sibling tools.

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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools like ise_openapi_radius_authorization_list clearly relate but no distinction is made. The description provides no context for when an authorization rule should be created vs. other operations, and no prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing policy set ID) are stated.

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