hosting_installWordPressPluginsV1

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

With no annotations, the description fully bears behavioral disclosure. It correctly notes the async nature and prerequisite of an existing installation. It does not cover error scenarios or permissions, but the key async behavior is well-communicated.

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 four sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, followed by parameter retrieval guidance and async behavior. Every sentence serves a purpose with no redundancy.

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 3 required parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers how to obtain each parameter and explains the response (async job queued). It leverages prerequisite endpoints effectively, ensuring agents have sufficient context to invoke the tool 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 coverage is 100%, but the description adds value by telling how to retrieve the software ID and discover plugin slugs, going beyond what the schema alone provides. This helps agents correctly populate parameters.

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 verb 'Install' and the resource 'plugins on an existing WordPress installation'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like hosting_activateWordPressPluginV1 or hosting_uninstallWordPressPluginsV1 by focusing solely on installation.

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 provides explicit instructions on obtaining the required software identifier and plugin slugs via linked endpoints. It sets async expectations but lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or comparisons to other tools like hosting_updateWordPressPluginsV1.

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