ncloud_vodstation_create_category

Create a VOD Station encoding category by specifying output bucket and file path. Preview with dry run or apply encoding options, access control, and notifications.

Instructions

Create a new VOD Station encoding category. Use dryRun=true to preview without creating.

Input Schema

filePathYesDetailed path to save output files (e.g., /)
thumbnailNoWhether to enable thumbnail extraction
bucketNameYesOutput bucket name to save encoded files
accessControlNoOutput file disclosure scopePRIVATE
encodingOptionsNoEncoding option IDs to apply
notificationUrlNoCallback URL for encoding completion notifications
encodingOptionTemplateIdNoEncoding template ID
Behavior2/5

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

The description adds the dryRun preview behavior, but it does not disclose what happens upon creation (e.g., idempotency, uniqueness constraints, side effects like auto-creation of folder). The annotation destructiveHint=false is consistent but the description lacks additional behavioral context.

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 concise at two sentences, with the first stating the purpose and the second providing a key usage tip. No redundant information, though it could be slightly more structured.

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 9 parameters and no output schema, the description fails to explain the full workflow, such as what happens after creation, how to verify success, or how parameters like bucketName relate to existing resources. The schema covers parameters but not the broader context.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains each parameter. The description does not add any new meaning beyond what is already in the schema, warranting a baseline score of 3.

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 the verb 'create' and the resource 'VOD Station encoding category'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like ncloud_vodstation_list_categories and ncloud_vodstation_create_channel by specifying it is for creating an encoding category, not a channel.

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 provides a usage tip for dryRun to preview without creating, but it does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites like existing buckets. It gives some guidance but misses explicit context.

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