create_antivirus_profile

Creates an antivirus profile in FortiManager to configure virus scanning settings, scan mode, and logging for firewall policy enforcement.

Instructions

Create an antivirus profile.

Args: adom: ADOM name name: Profile name comment: Optional comment feature_set: Flow/proxy feature set - "proxy" or "flow" (optional) scan_mode: Scan mode - "default" or "legacy" (optional) av_virus_log: Enable/disable AntiVirus logging - "enable" or "disable" (optional)

Returns: dict: Create result with keys: - status: "success" or "error" - name: Created profile name - message: Status or error message

Example: >>> result = await create_antivirus_profile( ... adom="root", ... name="strict-av", ... feature_set="flow", ... av_virus_log="enable", ... )

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It does not disclose permissions, side effects, duplicate-name handling, ADOM lock requirements, or whether a subsequent commit is needed; it mainly restates the mutation and return shape already implied by the name and output schema.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the purpose and then structured into Args, Returns, and Example sections. It is somewhat verbose because the Returns section duplicates output schema information, but the parameter documentation is necessary given 0% schema coverage.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a six-parameter create tool with no annotations and no schema descriptions, the description provides all parameter meanings and an example call. It is incomplete on behavioral and usage context, especially mutation prerequisites, but sufficient to invoke the tool correctly.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining every parameter, including allowed values for feature_set ("proxy" or "flow"), scan_mode ("default" or "legacy"), and av_virus_log ("enable" or "disable"). This adds substantial meaning beyond the schema titles.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: "Create an antivirus profile." This clearly distinguishes it from sibling operations such as update_antivirus_profile, get_antivirus_profile, delete_antivirus_profile, and list_antivirus_profiles.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied by the create verb and the example invocation, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this versus update_antivirus_profile, prerequisites such as ADOM locking, or whether a commit is required afterward. It gives enough context to attempt the call, but not full routing guidance.

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