Create Managed Object

createManagedObject

Creates a new managed object in PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud by specifying an object type and its required JSON properties.

Instructions

Create a new managed object in PingOne AIC

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
objectDataYesJSON object containing object properties (must include all required fields from the schema)
objectTypeYesManaged object type (e.g., alpha_user, bravo_user, alpha_role, bravo_role, alpha_group, bravo_group, alpha_organization, bravo_organization). Use listManagedObjects to discover all available types.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the external-system and non-destructive traits are covered structurally. The description adds nothing on top: it does not say whether objectData is validated against a type schema, what errors occur on schema mismatch, or what the write returns.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no redundant padding. It is efficient, though its brevity borders on under-specification rather than true economy.

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?

For a creation tool taking a nested, schema-constrained objectData payload, the description omits critical context: that the caller must first resolve the object type and its required fields via getManagedObjectSchema. With no output schema and no annotations covering validation, an agent is left guessing how to build a valid payload.

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 both parameters are documented there, including the pattern for objectType and the requirement that objectData contain all schema-required fields. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Create a new managed object'), clearly distinguishable from read/update siblings like patchManagedObject or getManagedObject. It does not, however, differentiate itself from the near-identical createManagedObjectDefinition sibling, which the agent must infer from the name alone.

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?

The description gives no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of the related tools an agent needs (getManagedObjectSchema to learn required fields, listManagedObjects to discover valid types). The one hint about listManagedObjects lives in the schema, not the description.

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