Behavior3/5

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

The description indicates the tool is a write operation ('Create') and returns an operation_id, suggesting asynchronous behavior. However, given the 'openWorldHint' annotation, the description could provide more detail about side effects or post-creation steps. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the core purpose and return type without any superfluous text.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having many parameters (13, 8 required) and an output schema, the description is minimal and does not explain the return value beyond 'operation_id' or address typical usage patterns, leaving the agent underinformed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter details. It adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides, netting a baseline score.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Create') and resource ('a new WordPress environment for a site') and distinguishes it from siblings like 'clone' or 'create-plain'. It also mentions the return type ('operation_id').

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'kinsta.environments.create-plain'), nor any prerequisites or context for using it.

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