wordpress_update_page

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It implies mutation but does not explain partial update semantics (e.g., whether null values mean 'leave unchanged'), permissions required, or side effects. The return statement is minimal.

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 structure with Args and Returns is tidy, but the individual argument descriptions are redundant and waste space. Every line repeats the param name with a 'New' prefix, which does not earn its place. The meaningful content is only two sentences.

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 tool with 11 parameters and no annotations, the description is inadequate. It does not explain allowed values for fields like status or template, how nulls are treated, or potential errors. The output schema exists, but it does not compensate for the lack of behavioral and parameter context.

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 description lists all parameters but each description is tautological (e.g., 'title: New title', 'status: New status'), adding no meaning beyond the schema. Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate with any clarification of valid values, formats, or relationships.

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?

Clearly states it updates an existing WordPress page. The verb 'update' and resource 'WordPress page' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like create_page, delete_page, or get_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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., page must exist) or contrast with create/delete operations. The description is purely action-oriented without context.

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