unifi_create_wlan

Create a new WLAN (SSID) on UniFi APs with configurable security, band, VLAN tagging, and guest network settings.

Instructions

Create a new WLAN (SSID). security: 'open' | 'wpapsk' | 'wpa2' | 'wpa3'. passphrase required unless security='open'. wlan_band: '2g' | '5g' | 'both'. vlan_id: tag clients into a specific VLAN. is_guest: True marks this as a guest network.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only mentions creation and conditional parameter constraints; lacks details on idempotency, authorization needs, duplicate handling, or success response.

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?

Very concise, front-loads main action, no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value.

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?

With 11 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description leaves gaps: no success indicators, error conditions, or prerequisites for optional IDs. Incomplete for a complex creation tool.

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?

Covers 6 of 11 parameters (security, passphrase, wlan_band, vlan_id, is_guest, name implied). Adds conditional logic and enum descriptions but omits site_id, enabled, hide_ssid, usergroup_id, networkconf_id. Schema coverage 0% so description partially compensates.

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?

Clearly states 'Create a new WLAN (SSID).' Verb+resource is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like update, delete, list.

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?

Implied usage from tool name and description, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions relative to siblings. Some conditional parameter guidance is given but not usage context.

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