sdcloud_create_device

Bulk-onboard devices to Security Director Cloud by sending a list of device definitions in one request.

Instructions

Bulk-create (onboard) one or more devices. Body typically includes a list of device definitions.

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether creation is synchronous, potential side effects, required permissions, or error states. The phrase 'typically includes' is vague and does not guarantee behavior.

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 two sentences, directly stating the action and typical input. No unnecessary words; every sentence is valuable.

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 the tool has only one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but not rich. It explains the bulk nature and the input format, but misses details on the device definition structure, error responses, or integration with other workflow steps (e.g., deployment).

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage for the single 'body' parameter, but the description is generic ('matching the target Security Director Cloud schema'). The tool description adds that the body includes 'a list of device definitions,' which provides some additional context. However, this is minimal.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool creates or onboards devices in bulk, which distinguishes it from read-only device tools (e.g., sdcloud_list_devices). However, it could be more specific about the scope (e.g., 'onboard' implies provisioning, but the exact lifecycle step isn't clarified).

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sdcloud_create_site or other creation tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it differs from other device management tools.

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