TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds prerequisites (owned active account, provider availability) and a pagination protocol (loop on nextCursor, keep the same connection), which is real behavioral context beyond the annotations. The mention of "search fields" is vestigial since the schema has no search parameters, a minor inconsistency that stops short of contradiction.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with purpose before prerequisites and pagination mechanics. The trailing "and search fields" clause adds confusion rather than value, but overall there is little waste.

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 two-parameter read-only list tool with an output schema, the description covers the two things an agent can't infer: account/provider preconditions and how to paginate. Nothing essential is missing; return values are appropriately left to the output schema.

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 coverage is 100%, with both cursor and connectionId fully documented in-schema, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces that cursor comes from a prior page and that the connection must stay constant, but adds no format or error-handling detail beyond that.

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 ("List available article categories") scoped to WordPress, which clearly separates it from siblings like wordpressTagList and wordpressPostTypeList by resource type. It doesn't explicitly name the neighboring list tools, so differentiation relies on the resource noun rather than an explicit contrast.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

"Requires an owned active account and current provider availability" gives a concrete precondition for when this call will succeed, and the instruction to follow nextCursor gives clear operational guidance. No explicit when-not or alternative-tool routing is provided, but for a category list there is no competing sibling.

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