B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive, and closed-world, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds genuine value beyond that by disclosing the auth model (local WordPress authentication, no WooCommerce REST API keys) and the implementation it mirrors. It says nothing about pagination totals or result volume, which the schema only partially covers.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with purpose. Both earn their place, though the auth/implementation sentence is secondary context that could trail rather than sit beside the core purpose statement.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

A read-only list tool with full annotations, fully described parameters, and no output schema, so much is already covered. Still missing is any hint at what an attribute record contains (id, name, slug, type) or how this differs from the singular getter, which an agent would need to pick and interpret the call correctly.

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 description coverage is 100% and all four parameters are documented inline, including the important site_id caveat about calling list_sites and not passing a URL. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("Retrieves WooCommerce product attributes"), which is clearly distinct from create/update/delete siblings. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the singular sibling wc_get_product_attribute, so the plural-vs-single boundary has to be inferred from the name alone.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description contains no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and names no alternative. It never says whether this lists all attribute definitions for a site versus fetching one attribute's terms, which is exactly the choice an agent faces with wc_get_product_attribute present.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
