wp_elementor_insert_section

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions safe mode requirement. It fails to mention required permissions, effect on existing content, error conditions, or whether the operation is reversible. The description is insufficient for a mutation 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?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences. The first sentence front-loads the primary purpose, and the second sentence adds a critical usage note. No redundant 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?

Given the tool has 5 parameters including a nested array, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It does not explain what a 'section scaffold' entails, how presets work (what widgets they include), the structure of custom children, or any side effects. The tool is incomplete for an AI agent to use correctly without additional knowledge.

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 description coverage is 40%, meaning most parameters lack descriptions. The description repeats only what is already in the schema (presets and custom children). It does not clarify page_id's usage, position's default, or confirm's specifics (beyond safe mode). The description adds minimal value to parameter understanding.

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?

Description clearly states the tool inserts a section scaffold with widgets, and specifies presets vs custom children. This distinguishes it from siblings like wp_elementor_insert_widget and wp_elementor_update_element, which modify existing elements rather than creating a new section structure.

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 one usage guideline: 'confirm:true required in safe mode'. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., when to use a preset vs custom children, or when to use wp_elementor_insert_widget instead). More guidance on context would improve.

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