zia_get_atp_malware_inspection

Read-only

Retrieve current ATP malware inspection toggles for inbound and outbound traffic. Use before updating to merge partial changes.

Instructions

Get the ZIA ATP Malware Protection traffic-direction inspection toggles (read-only). Returns two booleans: inspect_inbound (scan incoming internet traffic for malicious content) and inspect_outbound (scan outgoing traffic). Always call this before zia_update_atp_malware_inspection so partial updates can be merged onto the existing payload (the update is PUT-replace). Supports JMESPath client-side filtering via the query parameter.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true; description adds return structure (two booleans) and explains the PUT-replace behavior of the update sibling. Does not contradict annotations. Good additional context.

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?

Four concise sentences covering purpose, return values, usage guidance, and filtering support. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given no output schema, the description fully explains return format and provides integration guidance with the update tool. Complete for a straightforward read-only get tool.

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 already describes both parameters well (100% coverage). Description repeats JMESPath usage but adds no new details beyond schema. 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 it gets ATP malware inspection toggles (read-only), specifies the resources (inbound/outbound booleans), and distinguishes from siblings by naming the specific toggle and the companion update tool.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly instructs to call before zia_update_atp_malware_inspection for merging partial updates, and mentions JMESPath filtering for client-side use. Provides clear when-to-use context.

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