Bulk Create Posts from CSV

wp_bulk_create_posts

Import multiple WordPress posts from a CSV file. Supports optional status, slug, excerpt, categories, tags, date, and featured media. Dry-run mode enables safe testing before bulk creation.

Instructions

Create many posts from a CSV. Required columns: title, content. Optional: status (default 'draft'), slug, excerpt, categories (comma-sep IDs), tags (comma-sep IDs), date, featured_media. Defaults to dry_run=true.

Use case: import a content calendar.

Behavior4/5

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

The description discloses the critical dry_run=true default and lists required/optional CSV columns, adding behavioral context beyond the annotations. It does not contradict the annotations, which already indicate a non-read-only operation.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. The first paragraph states what the tool does and the column requirements; the second gives a clear use case. No redundant or filler content.

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?

The description covers the essential input format and dry-run behavior, making the tool usable. However, because there is no output schema, it should clarify what the tool returns (e.g., created post IDs or a summary) and error handling, which are missing. This is a notable gap for a bulk write operation.

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?

The schema already provides descriptions for csv_path and response_format (50% coverage). The description echoes the CSV column information and adds the dry_run default, but it does not explain stop_on_error beyond the parameter name. It adds modest value over the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description opens with 'Create many posts from a CSV,' which precisely states the action, resource, and input method. It distinguishes this bulk operation from single-post tools like wp_create_post and the use case adds further clarity.

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?

The description provides a clear use case ('import a content calendar') and notes the dry_run default, which guides safe usage. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives (e.g., wp_create_post) or state exclusions, so it falls short of a 5.

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