Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full disclosure burden. While 'List' implies read-only, description lacks details on pagination behavior (despite per_page/page params), error handling for invalid taxonomies, or return structure.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no filler. '[UNIFIED]' prefix efficiently signals implementation pattern. However, extreme brevity inadequately services the 6-parameter, 0%-coverage schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 6 parameters with 0% schema coverage and no output schema/annotations, the description is insufficient. It fails to document required 'site' parameter, pagination defaults (100 items), or filtering options (hide_empty, parent) essential for correct invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, requiring heavy description compensation. While 'specific taxonomy' implies the taxonomy parameter, the description completely ignores 5 other parameters including required 'site' and pagination controls (per_page, page), providing no syntax or semantic guidance.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States clear verb 'List' and resource 'terms of a specific taxonomy'. Differentiates from sibling tools like wordpress_list_categories/tags by emphasizing it works with 'any registered taxonomy including categories, tags, and custom taxonomies', implying broader scope.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implies this is the generic option for custom taxonomies by mentioning categories/tags/custom taxonomies together, but lacks explicit guidance on when to prefer this over wordpress_list_categories or wordpress_list_tags specifically.

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