superset_group_create

Create a user group in Apache Superset to combine users and roles, automatically granting inherited permissions to members.

Instructions

Create a new user group.

A group combines users and roles. Users in a group automatically inherit all roles of the group.

Args: name: Unique group name (e.g. "la_region_Moscow"). label: Display label (e.g. "Moscow region"). description: Group description. roles: List of role IDs to assign to the group. users: List of user IDs to add to the group.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does add useful context: 'Users in a group automatically inherit all roles of the group' and notes the name must be unique. However, it does not disclose other behavioral traits such as required permissions, error handling (e.g., behavior if name already exists), or whether this mutation is reversible. This is a moderate disclosure for a create tool.

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 well-structured: a one-sentence purpose, a two-sentence conceptual explanation, and a bulleted Args list. Every sentence adds value, examples clarify expected formats, and the structure is easy to scan. There is no redundant text.

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?

The description covers the essential aspects for a creation tool: what it does, key behavioral consequence (role inheritance), and parameter semantics. It does not explain the return value or error conditions, but with an output schema present, return value documentation is not required. It is sufficient for an agent to correctly invoke the tool, though it could mention permission requirements.

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?

All five parameters are explained in the Args section with semantic meaning and examples: name (unique, e.g., 'la_region_Moscow'), label (display label), description, roles (list of role IDs), and users (list of user IDs). The schema provides types/required but no descriptions, so this fully compensates for the 0% schema description coverage.

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 opens with a clear verb+resource statement: 'Create a new user group.' It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like superset_group_update or superset_group_delete by specifying the creation action, and provides context about what a group is (combines users and roles), further clarifying the tool's purpose.

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 through 'Create' but this is no explicit guidance about when to use this tool vs alternatives. For example, the description does not mention using superset_group_add_users or superset_group_add_roles for modifying an existing group, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. Those details would clarify when to choose this tool over siblings.

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