UniFi Protect MCP

protect_get_link_station

Read-only

Retrieve full details for a specific link station by its ID, including identity fields like model key, name, MAC, and state.

Instructions

Get full details for a specific link station by ID. Returns: id, modelKey, name, mac, state (universal identity fields). Protect Integration API 7.1.60 returns a thin object; additional device-specific fields are NOT verified (no instances on reference console) — inspect a live response before relying on them.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide read-only and non-destructive hints. Description adds context about API version, thin object, and unverified additional fields.

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?

Two sentences, first states purpose and returns, second adds important warning. No wasted words.

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, description sufficiently covers return values and important behavioral caveats for a simple get tool.

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 100%, so the parameter is fully documented. Description adds no extra detail beyond the 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 gets full details for a specific link station by ID, distinguishing it from list_link_stations and other get_* tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Describes when to use (for full details of a specific link station) and includes a warning about API behavior, but does not explicitly exclude alternatives.

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