hosting_updateHostingerWordPressPluginV1

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the operation is asynchronous, which is valuable, but does not mention permissions, idempotency, error conditions, or what happens if the plugin is already up-to-date.

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 three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and each sentence adds essential information: purpose, parameter guidance, and async behavior. No fluff.

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?

Given the tool has 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose and async behavior but lacks return value details or guidance on tracking the update job after queuing. It is adequate but not comprehensive.

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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the 'software' parameter (WordPress installation identifier) and providing a source, but 'username' remains vague ('username parameter'), and 'slug' is fully covered by the enum.

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 'Update' and the resource 'Hostinger plugin to its latest version on a WordPress installation'. It distinguishes this tool from the sibling 'hosting_updateWordPressPluginsV1' by being specific to Hostinger 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?

The description provides clear context: it explains how to obtain the software identifier and notes the asynchronous nature. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'hosting_updateWordPressPluginsV1'.

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