Read site options

get_options
Read-only

Read WordPress option values by name or search, including autoloaded options that bloat the database. Manage plugin and theme configuration directly.

Instructions

Read values from the WordPress options table by name — where plugins and themes keep their configuration. Autoloaded options are also where a bloated database often hides.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoHow many options to return when browsing.
namesNoOption names to read. Omit with `search` to browse.
searchNoFind option names containing this substring.
site_idNoWhich configured WordPress site to act on. Optional — with a single site configured it is used automatically; with several, the default site is used unless you name one. Run list_sites for valid ids.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds context about the options table and autoloaded bloat, but does not disclose return format, how names/search/limit interact, or whether autoloaded options are singled out.

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?

The description is concise and front-loaded with the core action. The second sentence about autoloaded bloat adds contextual value, though it is slightly tangential to actually invoking the tool.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With no output schema, the description does not explain what the tool returns or how the optional parameters combine. It is adequate for making a basic call but incomplete for an agent trying to interpret results or browse effectively.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the parameters are fully documented in the schema itself. The description adds no additional parameter-level meaning, earning the baseline score of 3.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Read values from the WordPress options table by name.' It clearly identifies what the tool does and distinguishes it from mutation tools like set_option and inspection/cleanup tools in the sibling list.

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?

The description implies usage for reading plugin/theme configuration stored in options, but it does not explicitly say when to prefer this tool over alternatives such as inspect_options or set_option. No exclusions or alternative routing is provided.

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