List suggested WordPress plugins

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is clear. The description adds that results are grouped by website type and that slugs are meant for installation, which is useful context, but it does not disclose response format, pagination, or scoping behavior beyond what annotations cover.

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. The main purpose is front-loaded, and the installation hint is a relevant, actionable follow-up.

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 simple read-only listing tool with one optional parameter and safety annotations, the description is mostly complete: it states what the tool returns, how results are grouped, and how to use the output. It could be more complete by naming sibling alternatives or describing the response structure, but nothing essential for calling it is missing.

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 only parameter, order_id, is fully described in the schema as an optional scope. The description does not add additional meaning about parameters, but with 100% schema coverage, the schema carries the documentation burden adequately.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'List curated plugin suggestions grouped by website type.' The word 'suggested' clearly differentiates this from sibling tools like hosting_listAvailableWordPressPluginsV1, hosting_searchWordPressPluginsV1, and hosting_listInstalledWordPressPluginsV1.

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 gives clear downstream context by instructing to use returned slug values with the install endpoint, which tells the agent how to act on results. However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over sibling listing/search tools or when not to use it.

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