sophos_create_cloud_security_profile

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true. The description does not add behavioral details beyond the schema, such as side effects or permissions. It neither contradicts nor significantly extends annotations.

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?

The description is three sentences: first states purpose, second clarifies the two operation modes, third directs to a related tool. Every sentence earns its place, and the most critical information is front-loaded.

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?

Given 7 parameters (including nested objects), 2 required, no output schema, the description covers the core workflow and references the content source. It could mention expected return or success behavior, but the current information is sufficient for an experienced user.

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 description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is well-documented in the schema. The description adds high-level guidance on when to use name vs profile_id and suggests a sibling tool for defaults, but does not deepen understanding of parameter syntax beyond the schema.

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?

The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'cloud security runtime detection profile' or 'new version of an existing profile.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like sophos_list_cloud_security_profiles and sophos_update_cloud_security_profile_name by specifying creation behavior and referencing a dedicated tool for default content.

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?

The description provides explicit guidance on when to use each mode: provide 'name' for new profile, 'profile_id' for new version. It also recommends using sophos_list_cloud_security_default_contents for available content versions. It lacks explicit exclusions (when not to use), but the context is adequate.

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