sophos_create_cloud_security_profile

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

No annotations provided, so description must compensate. It discloses the dual operation modes but does not mention side effects, permissions, activation behavior, or whether creation is destructive. Minimal behavioral context beyond schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences: purpose, usage rule, auxiliary tool reference. No redundancy, every sentence adds value. Efficiently structured.

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

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

Without output schema or annotations, description covers the two mode logic and key dependency. Does not clarify return values, activation after creation, or semantics of list_overrides/rule_overrides beyond schema. Moderately complete for a creation tool with 7 parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%; description adds guidance on mutual exclusivity of name and profile_id and points to list tool for content_version. This adds marginal value over schema descriptions, earning baseline 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it creates a new cloud security runtime detection profile or a new version of an existing one, using specific verbs and resource. It distinguishes between two modes and is distinct from sibling tools like sophos_update_cloud_security_profile_name and sophos_list_cloud_security_profiles.

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

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

Provides explicit instructions: 'Provide name when creating a new profile; provide profile_id when adding a new version.' Also references sophos_list_cloud_security_default_contents for content versions. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools for name-only updates, but covers primary use cases.

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