pve_sdn_controller_update

Update an existing SDN controller's settings. Dry-run to view a plan, then confirm to apply changes.

Instructions

MUTATION: update an SDN controller (PENDING). type is IMMUTABLE — delete and re-create to change it. options sets fields; delete unsets keys.

To create a new controller use pve_sdn_controller_create; to remove one use pve_sdn_controller_delete. Dry-run by default (returns a PLAN); confirm=True stages the edit and returns {status, result}. RISK_LOW (staging; inert until pve_sdn_apply).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
deleteNoController option keys to unset.
digestNoExpected config digest for optimistic-concurrency checking.
confirmNoFalse (default) returns a dry-run PLAN only; True executes the staged mutation.
optionsNoController fields to set (type-specific — asn, peers, isis-domain, ...).
controllerYesExisting SDN controller id to update.
lock_tokenNoSDN cluster lock token to use for this write, if one is held.
proximo_targetNoWhich configured Proxmox target to run this call against — a target name from your multi-target config (a specific PVE/PBS/PMG/PDM box). Omit to use the single/default target from the environment; the selection applies only to this call.

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, description fully discloses mutation nature, immutability of 'type', dry-run default, confirm behavior, and risk level (staging inert until apply). All critical behavioral traits are transparently described.

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?

Extremely concise: two sentences plus a short paragraph. No fluff. Front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence adds essential information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given output schema exists, return values need no explanation. Covers mutation behavior, immutability, dry-run, confirm, risk, and sibling tools. Complete for a 7-parameter tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds semantic value by explaining that 'type' is immutable and that 'options' sets fields while 'delete' unsets keys, going beyond schema types.

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 'update an SDN controller (PENDING)' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings by naming create and delete tools. Adds details about immutable 'type' and dry-run behavior.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly tells when to use create/delete instead, and explains dry-run default vs confirm=True for actual staging. Provides clear context for when to use this tool versus alternatives.

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