Create Fhrp_group_assignment

netbox_create_fhrp_group_assignment

Assigns a FHRP group to a device or VM interface with a specified priority in NetBox.

Instructions

Create a new fhrp_group_assignment in NetBox.

This adds a new row to NetBox. Ask before calling if the user wanted a dry-run.

Returns: Markdown summary of the newly created object (default) or JSON with the full NetBox response.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate mutability (readOnlyHint false) and non-destructiveness (destructiveHint false). The description adds value by noting the dry-run consideration and the return format options, which are beyond the annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is very concise with three short sentences: action, safety reminder, and return format. It is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary information.

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?

Given 7 parameters (4 required), nested custom_fields, and enum interface_type, the description does not explain the domain concept of an FHRP group assignment (e.g., it links an interface to a group). The return format is covered, but missing domain context reduces completeness.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level details; the schema already handles that adequately. No additional semantic value is provided.

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 action ('Create a new fhrp_group_assignment') and the resource, aligning with the tool name and title. It is distinct from sibling tools (list, get, update, delete) and includes no ambiguity.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied for a create tool, but the description lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives (e.g., when to create versus update). The dry-run note adds caution but does not define context or prerequisites.

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