+description:
+  - Manages AFM security firewall policies on a BIG-IP.

+    description:
+      - The name of the policy to create.
+    required: True
+  description:
+    description:
+      - The description to attach to the policy.
+      - This parameter is only supported on versions of BIG-IP >= 12.1.0. On earlier
+        versions it will simply be ignored.
+  state:
+    description:
+      - When C(state) is C(present), ensures that the policy exists.
+      - When C(state) is C(absent), ensures that the policy is removed.
+    choices:
+      - present
+      - absent
+    default: present
+  rules:
+    description:
+      - Specifies a list of rules that you want associated with this policy.
+        The order of this list is the order they will be evaluated by BIG-IP.
+        If the specified rules do not exist (for example when creating a new
+        policy) then they will be created.
+      - Rules specified here, if they do not exist, will be created with "default deny"
+        behavior. It is expected that you follow-up this module with the actual
+        configuration for these rules.
+      - The C(bigip_firewall_rule) module can be used to also create, as well as
+        edit, existing and new rules.
