sophos_create_web_control_local_site

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that categoryId comes from a specific list, but does not mention permissions, rate limits, or behavior if the URL/domain already exists. The description is minimal for a mutation tool.

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?

Two sentences: the first states the purpose, the second adds key parameter guidance. No unnecessary words; front-loaded with the core action.

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?

The description explains what the tool does but does not mention what is returned (e.g., the created site's ID or success status). Given no output schema, this information would be valuable for an agent to confirm the operation succeeded.

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%, so parameters are already documented. The description adds value by specifying that categoryId is an integer from the categories list, which is helpful context beyond the schema description. Other parameters are sufficiently described in 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), resource (Web Control local site override), and purpose (allow or block a specific URL/domain). It distinguishes the tool from siblings like sophos_update_web_control_local_site and sophos_get_web_control_local_site.

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 implies usage by mentioning 'categoryId is an integer from the categories list,' suggesting prior use of sophos_list_web_control_categories. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., updating vs creating) or provide when-not-to-use guidance.

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