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

No annotations provided, so description must convey behavioral traits. Describes a read operation ('Show') and mentions output (version and vulnerabilities). Does not elaborate on side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits, which is acceptable for a simple read tool.

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. First sentence states purpose; second sentence provides parameter sourcing advice. No redundant or unnecessary information.

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?

No output schema is present, but description indicates the return includes core version and known vulnerabilities. For a simple retrieval tool, this is sufficient. Lacks details about return format or potential errors, but overall complete enough.

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 covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Free-text description adds value for 'software' by explaining how to obtain the identifier, but does not enrich 'username' beyond the schema. Thus, description adds some additional context but not extensively.

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 verb 'Show' and resource 'WordPress core version' and 'known vulnerabilities'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like hosting_updateWordPressCoreV1 or hosting_listAvailableWordPressCoreUpdatesV1 by focusing on current version and vulnerabilities.

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 explicit guidance on how to obtain the required software identifier from another endpoint. Implies usage context for checking version and vulnerabilities, but does not explicitly exclude alternative scenarios.

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