iaas_import_package_http_method_override

Imports IPAM packages in resumable chunks using an HTTP method override header, enabling TUS-compliant uploads to VCF Automation.

Instructions

Import package Import IPAM package on chunks of specified size with additional http method override. This API implements the TUS RFC: https://github.com/tus/tus-resumable-upload-protocol/blob/main/protocol.md#x-http-method-override POST /iaas/api/integrations-ipam/package-import/{id}

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds useful context that this implements TUS resumable uploads, but it does not explain offset sequencing, chunk completion behavior, or auth requirements beyond linking to the RFC.

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?

The definition is short and front-loaded, with the core operation stated first and protocol context second. There is minor redundancy in the leading 'Import package' and raw endpoint text, but it is not bloated.

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?

For a complex resumable upload, the description gives the TUS RFC link and the chunking/method-override direction, while the schema fully documents parameters. Still, it omits practical workflow details such as how offsets advance and how completion is signaled, so it is adequate but not complete.

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 description coverage is 100%, so every parameter, including the TUS headers, is already documented in the schema. The description adds only general context about chunking and method override; it does not add syntax or usage meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb and resource: importing an IPAM package, with the added mechanism of chunked upload and HTTP method override. It references the TUS RFC and the endpoint, so the operation is clear. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this from the sibling iaas_import_package tool.

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?

The mention of chunked import and X-HTTP-Method-Override implies this is for resumable chunked uploads using TUS. But there is no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no direct comparison to iaas_import_package or other import-related siblings.

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