create_package

Create a new policy package for deploying firewall policies and security profiles to managed FortiGate devices.

Instructions

Create a new policy package.

Policy packages contain firewall policies, security profiles, and other configurations to be deployed to managed devices.

Args: adom: ADOM name name: Package name ngfw_mode: NGFW mode - "profile-based" (default) or "policy-based" central_nat: Enable central NAT (default: False)

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

Example: >>> result = await create_package( ... adom="root", ... name="Branch-Policy", ... ngfw_mode="profile-based" ... )

Behavior3/5

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

Without annotations, the description provides basic behavioral info (creates, returns dict) but lacks details on side effects, prerequisites, or failure modes.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is well-structured with a clear one-line summary, Args, Returns, and an Example, with no unnecessary information.

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?

The description explains parameters and return value well, but lacks mention of prerequisites (e.g., ADOM must exist) or edge cases like duplicate names.

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?

Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description fully compensates by listing each parameter with type, default, and meaning in the Args section.

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 clearly states 'Create a new policy package' and explains what policy packages contain, distinguishing it from clone_package or delete_package.

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?

The description implies it is for creating new packages but does not explicitly state when to use it vs. alternatives like clone_package or when not to use it.

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