Create Provider_network

netbox_create_provider_network

Create a new provider network record in NetBox with required provider ID and network name.

Instructions

Create a new provider_network 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.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate it's a mutation (readOnlyHint=false). The description adds 'adds a new row' (redundant) and return format. It provides a dry-run caution, which adds some behavioral context but lacks details on side effects, permissions, or idempotency. No contradiction with 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?

Three tightly written sentences covering purpose, caution, and return format. No extraneous content. Efficient and well-structured.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the schema descriptions cover most parameters and the return format is explained, the description is fairly complete. It could improve by mentioning potential validation errors or uniqueness constraints, but overall it's adequate for a create tool with 8 parameters.

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 coverage is 63%, so the schema already describes most parameters. The tool description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 provider_network in NetBox') and the resource. It distinguishes from sibling create tools by specifying the object type. 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 Guidelines2/5

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

The only usage guidance is 'Ask before calling if the user wanted a dry-run,' which is a safety precaution but does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., other create tools or update tools). No context about prerequisites or typical use cases.

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