You didn't mention the versions of Ansible and BIG-IP OS used in your environment. That information would be helpful for someone to reproduce and diagnose the issue you reported.

For example, using Ansible 2.4 and BIG-IP version 12.1.3, I get the following error about a missing 

monitor_type
parameter during the pool creation task:

fatal: [bigip.localdomain -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The 'monitor_type' parameter cannot be empty when 'monitors' parameter is specified."}

Once I added the 

monitor_type
parameter, the pool creation task ran successfully.

Try checking the bigip_pool.py module in your Ansible distribution for parameter requirements.
