wp_elementor_get_page

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly indicates this is a read operation ('Get'), describes what is returned (element tree, page settings, metadata), and implies no side effects by recommending it before modifications. It does not detail error behavior for invalid IDs or non-Elementor pages, but for a simple read tool the key traits are covered.

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 concise sentences with no filler. The first sentence front-loads the action and resource; the second adds return details and the intended use case. Every clause earns its place.

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?

For a single-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description explains the input, the output shape, and the practical use case. It is sufficiently complete for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly, though it could mention what happens if the ID doesn't correspond to an Elementor-enabled page.

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?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage, describing the only parameter as 'The WordPress post/page ID.' The description repeats this in prose ('by its ID') without adding format, constraints, or additional meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate because the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 states a specific verb ('Get'), a specific resource ('Elementor data for a page/post'), and a clear identifier ('by its ID'). It also names the returned content (element tree, page settings, metadata), which distinguishes it from generic content tools like wp_get_content and from modifier tools like wp_elementor_update_page.

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 explicitly says to use this tool 'to understand the current structure before making modifications,' giving a clear context for when it is appropriate. It doesn't enumerate exclusions or name alternatives, but the pre-modification framing effectively routes agents away from using it after edits and toward update tools for changes.

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