wordpress_create_child_theme

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

No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose important behaviors such as whether it overwrites existing files, requires directory write permissions, or handles errors (e.g., parent theme not found). The description lacks depth for safe invocation.

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 very short (one sentence), but it omits critical information. While concise, it does not earn its place by providing sufficient value, resulting in under-specification.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (creating child themes involves copying templates, enqueuing styles, etc.), the description lacks essential details about prerequisites (e.g., parent must be installed), output, and side effects. Without annotations or output schema, it is incomplete.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain the parameters 'parentTheme' and 'childName' beyond their names. An agent cannot know expected formats (e.g., theme slug or display name) or constraints, making it difficult to use correctly.

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 clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'child theme' and specifies it is 'from a parent theme', making it easy to understand the tool's main purpose. It is distinct from sibling tools, though slightly generic.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when creating a theme from scratch or modifying a parent theme. No prerequisites or context are given, leaving the agent to infer usage.

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