wordpress_get_style_variations

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

No annotations provided, so the description should fully disclose behavior. It does not mention whether the tool is read-only, what it returns (e.g., list of names, objects), or any side effects. The name suggests it's a getter, but that is speculative.

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 with no wasted words, but it sacrifices necessary detail. It is appropriately short for a simple tool but fails to convey essential information in that brevity.

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 one required parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values, parameter format, or how this tool relates to similar getters, leaving significant gaps for an agent.

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 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions. The description does not explain what 'stylesheet' means (e.g., theme slug, full path, or handle). This forces the agent to guess or rely on external knowledge.

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 action (get) and resource (theme style variations) and specifies it applies to block themes, distinguishing it from classic theme tools. However, it could be more precise about what a style variation is.

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 on when to use this vs. related tools like wordpress_get_global_styles or wordpress_get_theme_json. The only contextual hint is 'for block themes', which implies it's not for classic themes, but no explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives.

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