wordpress_bulk_update_posts

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

No annotations are provided. The description only says 'Update' which implies mutation. It does not disclose permissions, reversibility, or what gets updated beyond the name, leaving significant behavioral gaps.

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 but omits critical details. It is under-specified rather than concise, failing to provide necessary information for an agent to use the tool correctly.

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?

No output schema is present, and the description does not mention return values. With one parameter lacking schema detail and no behavioral details, the description is severely incomplete for a batch mutation tool.

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?

Input schema has one parameter 'updates' (type array) with 0% schema description coverage. The description adds no meaning about what the array should contain, how to structure updates, or constraints.

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 explicitly states 'Update multiple posts in one operation', clearly indicating the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling 'wordpress_update_post' which handles single updates.

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 includes 'efficient for batch modifications', implying use for updating multiple posts. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives like 'wordpress_update_post', the context with siblings makes it clear.

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