redis_create_cluster

Create a managed Redis cluster with specified name, version, node type, and admin credentials. Supports standalone or clustered configurations with optional TLS and tags.

Instructions

Create a Managed Redis cluster.

The cluster 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?

The description only reveals the tagging behavior ('created_by=scaleway-mcp'). It does not disclose potential side effects (e.g., cost, async provisioning), required permissions, or rate limits. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of transparency but falls short.

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?

Two efficient sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the core purpose, the second adds an important operational detail. Ideal length for quick comprehension.

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?

Given the presence of an output schema and full parameter descriptions, the description is largely complete. It covers the creation action and a key safety mechanism. Minor gaps (e.g., no mention of async behavior) prevent a perfect score.

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 coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already described. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the tag mention. Baseline 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 verb 'Create' and the resource 'Managed Redis cluster', making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that create other resources (e.g., kubernetes_create_cluster, databases_create_instance) through the specific resource type.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites, exclusions, or post-creation steps. Users must infer solely from the tool name.

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