pve_sdn_route_map_entry_create

Create a route-map entry for Proxmox SDN routing policy. Match conditions and set actions define traffic treatment; dry-run plans changes before application.

Instructions

MUTATION: create a route-map entry (PENDING — inert until pve_sdn_apply). There is NO container-level 'create a route map' tool — a route map is defined purely by having >=1 entry.

To update an existing entry use pve_sdn_route_map_entry_update; to remove one use pve_sdn_route_map_entry_delete. Dry-run by default (returns a PLAN); confirm=True creates the pending entry, returning {status, result}. RISK_LOW (staging, no live network effect).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
callNoAnother route-map id to invoke as a sub-routine.
matchNoArray of {key, value} match-clause objects (route-type, vni, ip-address-prefix-list, metric, local-preference, peer, tag, ...); PVE validates each item's key server-side.
orderYesEntry position (0-65535, required).
actionYesMatching policy: 'permit' or 'deny'.
digestNoExpected config digest for optimistic-concurrency checking — accepted on CREATE for this endpoint (unlike prefix-list's own entry create, which has none).
confirmNoFalse (default) returns a dry-run PLAN only; True executes the staged mutation.
lock_tokenNoSDN cluster lock token to use for this write, if one is held.
exit_actionNoSingle {key, value} object: key is one of on-match-goto/on-match-next/continue.
set_clausesNoArray of {key, value} set-clause objects (ip-next-hop, local-preference, weight, metric, ...) — wire key is 'set'; renamed here to avoid shadowing the 'set' builtin.
route_map_idYesRoute map id to add this entry to — a FREE-FORM id chosen by the caller; there is no separate 'create a route map' call, so the FIRST entry_create for a given id implicitly brings that route map into existence.
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?

No annotations provided, but description discloses mutation behavior, pending state, dry-run default, confirm flag, return type (PLAN or {status, result}), and risk level RISK_LOW (staging, no live network effect).

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?

Short and dense with key information front-loaded. A bit heavy on all-caps for emphasis, but each sentence serves a purpose.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers core intent, pending behavior, dry-run, risk, and sibling differentiation. Output schema exists, so return details are not required. Could mention the output schema briefly, but not a major gap.

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% (baseline 3). Description adds context for route_map_id (free-form, no separate create) and confirm (dry-run vs execution). Also mentions return format, adding value beyond schema.

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 it is a mutation to create a route-map entry, explains it is pending until pve_sdn_apply, and notes there is no separate route-map creation tool. Explicitly differentiates from sibling update and delete tools.

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?

Provides when to use (create a route-map entry), dry-run default with confirm=True to execute, and mentions alternative tools by name (pve_sdn_route_map_entry_update/delete). Also states risk level and staged nature.

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