A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds real context beyond that: authentication is local WordPress auth and no WooCommerce REST API keys are needed, which affects whether an agent can call it at all. It does not discuss pagination limits or result volume, but the schema covers the caps.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the action and scope, with no wasted hedging. The clause about mirroring the woocommerce-mcp-server method is marginally useful for provenance but borders on filler for an agent selecting a tool.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a read-only, idempotent list tool with full schema documentation and rich annotations, the description covers purpose, auth model and pagination. The one remaining gap is return shape, which is not covered by an output schema and is left entirely implicit.

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%, so page, perPage, filters and site_id are each documented in the schema itself. The description only echoes the existence of pagination and filters without adding format or syntax detail, so the 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 products') plus the two main capabilities, pagination and filters. It does not distinguish itself from the singular sibling wc_get_product or the many wc_get_*_report siblings, so an agent must infer the plural-vs-single split from the names alone.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: 'with pagination and filters' suggests bulk listing rather than single-record lookup, but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statement, and no named alternative such as wc_get_product for a known product ID. The prerequisite 'Call list_sites first' lives in the schema, not the description.

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