restore_elementor_backup

Destructive

Restore a page's Elementor data and settings from a backup created during a previous edit. Uses a confirmation token for a two-call safety flow.

Instructions

Restore a page's _elementor_data and _elementor_page_settings from a backup created by a previous edit. TWO-CALL FLOW with confirmation token.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide destructiveHint=true. The description adds value by explaining the two-call flow and confirming it restores specific metadata, giving context beyond annotations.

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?

Two sentences: first states core purpose, second highlights critical flow detail. No extraneous words; front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Description covers purpose and flow but lacks parameter details needed given low schema coverage and destructive behavior. Adequate for a simple tool but incomplete for a multi-step operation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 20% (only backup_meta_key described). The description does not explain the roles of site_id, page_id, settings_meta_key, or confirmation beyond mentioning the flow, insufficient for low coverage.

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?

Description clearly states the tool restores Elementor data and settings from a backup, and mentions a two-call flow, distinguishing it from siblings like list_elementor_backups and restore_from_file.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Description mentions a two-call flow with confirmation token, implying a specific usage pattern, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like restore_from_file or list_elementor_backups.

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