 #### Description
 
-This document outlines the configuration of alerts within CLMC. Alerts are configured through a YAML-based
-TOSCA-compliant document. This document is passed to the CLMC service, which parses and validates the document. Subsequently, 
-the CLMC service creates and activates the alerts within Kapacitor, then registers the HTTP alert handlers specified in the document.
+This document outlines the TOSCA alert specification used to configure alerts within CLMC. Alerts are configured through a YAML-based
+TOSCA-compliant document according to the TOSCA simple profile. This document is passed to the CLMC service, which parses and validates the document. Subsequently, the CLMC service
+creates and activates the alerts within Kapacitor, then registers the HTTP alert handlers specified in the document.
+The specification is compliant with the TOSCA policy template as implemented by the Openstack tosca parser. See an example below:
