create-slo-correction

Exclude time periods from SLO calculations by creating corrections for maintenance, deployments, or other events.

Instructions

Create an SLO correction to exclude a time period from SLO calculations (maintenance, deployments)

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sloIdYesThe SLO ID to apply the correction to

endNoISO 8601 end time. Required if duration is not provided
durationNoDuration in seconds. Required if end is not provided
descriptionNoDescription of the correction
timezoneNoTimezone for display (defaults to UTC). Example: Asia/Seoul
rruleNoRecurrence rule (RFC 5545 RRULE). Example: FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=SA,SU
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) but the description lacks details on side effects, required permissions, or state changes. The openWorldHint=true is not explained. Minimal behavioral context beyond the basic purpose.

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?

Single sentence front-loads purpose and examples, with no unnecessary words. Could possibly include a usage hint, but remains efficient.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For an 8-parameter tool with no output schema, the description and schema together cover the essential information. Missing guidance on recurrence handling, duration vs end relationship, and potential error cases, but sufficient for basic use.

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%, so each parameter has a documented description. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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?

Description clearly states the verb ('Create'), resource ('SLO correction'), and purpose ('to exclude a time period from SLO calculations') with specific examples (maintenance, deployments). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'create-slo' and 'delete-slo-correction'.

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?

Description implies usage for maintenance and deployments but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'create-downtime' or other exclusion mechanisms. No guidance on prerequisites or when not to use.

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