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

Discloses the asynchronous behavior explicitly, which is crucial for an activation tool. No annotations were provided, so the description carries the full burden and handles it well.

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 wasted words. Information is front-loaded and efficiently covers key points.

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?

Adequately covers the tool's purpose, parameter sources, and async behavior. Lacks details on error responses or return values, but is sufficient given the tool's simplicity.

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 already describes all parameters. Description adds value for the 'software' parameter by explaining how to obtain its value, but does not elaborate on the 'username' parameter beyond the schema.

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 'Activate an installed plugin on a WordPress installation' with specific verb and resource. Differentiates from siblings like deactivate, install, and list plugins.

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?

Provides context on how to obtain the WordPress installation identifier and notes the asynchronous nature. Lacks explicit when-not or alternatives, but the purpose is clear enough for usage.

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