Zabbix MCP Server

action_get

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve automated response actions defined in Zabbix. Actions specify notifications, remote commands, and other reactions when monitoring problems occur.

Instructions

Get actions from Zabbix.

Actions define automated responses to problems/triggers. They specify what happens when problems occur - sending notifications, executing remote commands, etc.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint true, so the description's safety profile is clear. The description adds context about actions' role but no extra behavioral traits like pagination or rate limits.

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?

Three sentences: first states the action, others provide context. Front-loaded and concise, though the extra sentences are explanatory rather than strictly necessary.

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?

For a read-only tool with a rich schema (91% coverage) and output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's purpose. Lacks details on relationships but sufficient given structured data.

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 coverage is 91%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter-level details, but baseline is 3 due to high coverage.

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?

Description clearly states 'Get actions from Zabbix' using a specific verb and resource, and explains what actions are. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like host_get or event_get by domain.

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 guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description only explains what actions are, without stating use cases or exclusions.

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