Get cybersecurity incidents grouped by location, showing distribution across offices and sites. Customize time range and grouping for detailed analysis.

Instructions

Provides cybersecurity incidents grouped by location, showing incident distribution across offices and sites.

categorize_byNoCategory to group incidents by. Values: LOCATION_ID (default), APP_ID, USER_ID, DEPARTMENT_IDLOCATION_ID
limitNoMaximum number of entries to return (1-1000).

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond what annotations provide, such as pagination or auth needs.

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?

The description is a single sentence, no wasted words, and directly communicates the tool's purpose. It is appropriately concise.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values are covered. The description provides sufficient context for a straightforward data retrieval tool, and the 100% schema coverage fills in parameter details.

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 all parameters are described in the input schema. The description does not add new meaning or context beyond the schema definitions.

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 provides cybersecurity incidents grouped by location, distinguishing it from siblings like zins_get_cyber_incidents which lacks grouping, and zins_get_cyber_incidents_by_threat_and_app which groups by other dimensions.

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 implies usage for location-based incident grouping but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions. No guidance on 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.
