scaffold_customizer

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It mentions output features (sanitization, JS, ServiceProvider) but omits critical behavioral traits: does it overwrite files? What files are generated? Is it safe to run multiple times? Without this, an agent may misuse the tool.

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 concise sentence with no fluff. It front-loads the verb and key output. However, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., listing generated components) without increasing length significantly.

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 moderate complexity (5 required parameters, no output schema), the description lacks important context: what files are created, expected project structure (e.g., WordPress plugin), and return format (likely generated code). An agent needs more details to use it correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter details beyond the schema. It does not elaborate on constraints or relationships between parameters, so it meets the baseline without improvement.

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 ('Generate') and specific WordPress Customizer components (panel, section, controls) along with added features (sanitization, live preview JS, ServiceProvider). It distinctly differentiates from sibling tools that scaffold other WordPress elements like CPT, CRUD, or settings pages.

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 implies usage for generating Customizer code but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., scaffold_settings_page) or prerequisites (e.g., existing plugin structure). No 'when not to use' or mention of context.

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