public_gateway_create_gateway

Create a public gateway on Scaleway with a specified commercial type, optional SMTP and SSH bastion, and attachable flexible IP. Tagged for safe deletion.

Instructions

Create a Public Gateway.

The gateway is tagged created_by=scaleway-mcp so it can later be identified and safely deleted by this server.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only mentions tagging behavior; lacks disclosure about idempotency, permissions, rate limits, or side effects. Insufficient for a create operation with 9 parameters.

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?

Description is concise (two sentences), front-loaded with the core action, and includes a key behavioral detail (tagging). No unnecessary words.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description fails to explain return values, side effects, or what happens post-creation. With 9 parameters and one required, more context is needed for an agent to use effectively.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a clear description. The tool description adds no additional parameter context, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 tool creates a public gateway and adds specific detail about tagging with `created_by=scaleway-mcp` for later identification. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get/list operations.

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 or alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites, restrictions, or comparison to other gateway tools. Agent must infer usage context.

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