List recent published blog posts for this site (Wix Blog). Returns title, excerpt, author, published date, reading time, categories, and the post URL.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max posts to return (default 10, max 50). | |
| category | No | Filter by category label. Case-insensitive substring match. |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly states that only published posts are returned and lists the response fields. However, it does not mention ordering, pagination, authentication requirements, or any side effects. The default and max limit are in the schema but not repeated in the description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and return data. Every word adds value, and there is no redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description compensates by listing the returned fields, which is adequate for basic usage. However, it omits the response structure (e.g., array of objects), ordering, and error conditions. For a simple list tool with two optional parameters, the completeness is good but not exhaustive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% since both parameters have descriptions. The main description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema provides for 'limit' and 'category'. Thus, the description adds no extra parameter semantics, meeting the baseline of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and the resource ('recent published blog posts for this site (Wix Blog)'). It lists the returned fields, which distinguishes it from sibling list tools that focus on other entities. However, the term 'recent' is slightly vague without specifying the ordering (e.g., by published date descending).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_categories or when not to use it. It implicitly states its purpose but lacks context on prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct domain (booking, events, places, food, movies, etc.) with clear boundaries. Even similar actions like reservations are clearly differentiated by context (booking appointment vs. table vs. event tickets vs. RSVP).
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., create_booking, get_availability, list_events, search_places). No mixing of conventions or vague verbs.
28 tools is on the higher end but justifiable for a comprehensive neighborhood directory covering bookings, events, store, reviews, FAQs, guides, offers, movies, and more. Each tool serves a specific purpose without redundancy.
The tool surface covers the main user workflows (searching places, booking services, events, food ordering, loyalty, reviews). Minor gaps like lack of user account management or direct payment handling are acceptable for a directory MCP.
