policy_create_access_rule

Create an access rule to enforce network policies based on identities, destinations, applications, and profiles. Provide a definition dict as required by the Cisco Secure Access API.

Instructions

Create an Access Rule. The definition dict is sent as-is to the Cisco API — see the Access Rules reference for the supported keys (identities, destinations, applications, profiles, schedule, etc.).

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, and the description only mentions that the definition is passed as-is to the API. It does not disclose mutability, error handling, rate limits, or effects on existing rules.

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?

Two sentences that are concise and front-loaded with the main action. Could benefit from structured formatting for parameters.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of the 'definition' nested object and no output schema or annotations, the description lacks completeness. It fails to describe return values, error conditions, or validation details beyond a reference.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 50%. The description adds minimal context beyond what is in the schema, primarily directing to external reference for the 'definition' parameter without explaining its structure.

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 an Access Rule' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like policy_update_access_rule and policy_list_access_rules by focusing on creation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives, such as update or delete. No prerequisites or context for usage beyond the basic creation action.

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