create-permission-group

Creates a permission group in a product to define access controls for team members, including feature flags, environments, and administrative actions.

Instructions

This endpoint creates a new Permission Group in a specified Product identified by the productId parameter, which can be obtained from the List Products endpoint.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; description does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, duplicate handling, or whether the created group is returned. As a mutation tool, it lacks critical context beyond 'creates'.

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?

Single sentence with a useful reference to list-products endpoint. Efficient but could be clearer about what the requestBody contains. No superfluous text.

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?

Given the complex input schema with many boolean permissions and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the concept of a Permission Group, the use of boolean flags, or what the response looks like. Lacks completeness for a create operation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Description mentions productId and requestBody parameters but adds no semantic detail beyond the input schema's descriptions. With nested object with many boolean fields, the description does not explain their meaning or structure, failing to compensate for schema coverage gaps.

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?

Description clearly states the action (creates a new Permission Group) and identifies the resource (in a specified Product via productId). It distinguishes from sibling tools that create other entities (e.g., create-config, create-environment).

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?

Description mentions the prerequisite of obtaining productId from list-products endpoint, but does not specify when to use this vs. update-permission-group or delete-permission-group. No explicit when-not or alternatives are provided, though the entity type implicitly guides usage.

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