B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is handed to the agent. The description adds real context beyond that: it uses local WordPress authentication and requires no WooCommerce REST API keys, which affects setup reasoning. It says nothing about pagination limits, date-range defaults, or what a report contains, leaving those to the schema.

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 the purpose; nothing is redundant. The second sentence is implementation/auth metadata rather than usage guidance, which is mildly off-target but still short and informative.

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 seven-parameter reporting tool with a nested open-ended filters object and no output schema deserves at least a hint of what the report returns (tax rates vs. totals, grouping) and valid period values. The definition is complete on authentication and identification but thin on output shape, which the absence of an output schema makes more costly.

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 every parameter (page, perPage, period, dateMin/dateMax, filters, site_id) is already documented in the schema, including defaults and the list_sites prerequisite. The description adds no param-level meaning such as accepted period values or the shape of the pass-through filters object, 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 taxes reports', which an agent can distinguish from the many sibling report tools (sales, coupons, customers, stock) by the 'taxes' resource. It does not explicitly contrast with the closest alternatives, but the resource noun is specific enough to select correctly.

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?

No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is given; nothing tells the agent how this differs in purpose from wc_get_sales_report or wc_get_orders_report. The only implied prerequisite ('call list_sites first') comes from the schema's site_id description, not the tool description itself.

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