Get plugin opportunity detail

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It indicates a read operation (Get) and lists returned fields, but does not disclose potential error handling (e.g., invalid slug), rate limits, or external dependency behavior beyond 'Powered by wpgoldmine.io'.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by a source attribution. No wasted words; every part is meaningful.

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?

The description covers what the tool returns and how to use it. Minor gap: does not specify behavior when slug is not found or if data is unavailable. However, for a simple fetch tool, this is acceptable.

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 coverage is 100% with the slug parameter described. The description adds the phrase 'by its WordPress.org slug' and an example, but these add minimal value beyond the schema's own description. Baseline score applies.

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?

Description explicitly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'opportunity snapshot for one plugin', lists specific data fields (installs, rating, etc.), and the title confirms 'Get plugin opportunity detail'. The sibling tools find_plugin_opportunities and list_opportunity_presets suggest different scopes (searching vs. listing), making this tool distinct.

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 implies usage when a specific plugin slug is known, as it requires the slug parameter. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like find_plugin_opportunities for searching.

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