+short_description: Aggregate IP prefixes into the minimal set of CIDR blocks
+description:
+- This module takes a list of IP prefixes and aggregates them into the minimal set of CIDR blocks.
+- It is useful for summarizing routes or reducing the size of prefix lists.
+version_added: 1.0.0
+options:
+  prefixes:
+    description:
+    - A list of IP prefixes to be aggregated.
+    - Each prefix should be a valid CIDR block (e.g., 192.0.2.0/32).
+    type: list
+    elements: str
+    required: true
+notes:
+- This module requires the Python `aggregate-prefixes` library to be installed on the control node.
+requirements:
