Create network

unifi_net_create_network
Destructive

Creates a new network on the current UniFi site, with preview and dry-run options before applying changes.

Instructions

Creates a new network on the current site. Body shape per Network API docs.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyNoNetwork create payload
confirmNo"YES" to apply; without it the tool returns a preview.
dry_runNotrue: preview only, nothing is sent.

Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the write/destructive profile is covered. The description adds only that it targets the current site and defers payload shape to external 'Network API docs' — no word on irreversibility, conflicts with existing networks, or failure modes.

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?

Two short sentences with the action front-loaded and no filler. Brevity is efficient, though it borders on under-specification rather than tightness.

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?

A destructive create on an untyped body parameter with no output schema needs more than a docs pointer: what a network payload minimally requires, how it relates to the parallel unifi_gen_createnetwork, and what a preview returns are all absent.

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% and the confirm/dry_run safety gates are fully documented in the schema, so baseline 3 applies. The one description contribution — 'Body shape per Network API docs' — signals that the opaque, untyped body must be sourced externally, which is marginally useful but not real semantics.

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?

Clear verb+resource and a scope qualifier ("current site") make the purpose immediately legible. It does not differentiate itself from the close sibling unifi_gen_createnetwork (or from unifi_net_update_network), so an agent has no textual basis for choosing between two network-creation tools.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, no named alternative. Nothing says when to pick this over unifi_gen_createnetwork, nor when a preview (dry_run) is appropriate versus a real apply.

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