wp_get_site_info

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It implies a read-only operation but does not disclose caching, authentication needs, or output format. While it mentions three types of information, it lacks depth about what exactly is returned or side effects.

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?

A single efficient sentence that conveys purpose without redundancy. It could be slightly expanded to list all returned items, but it is well-structured and front-loaded.

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?

Despite low complexity (0 params, no annotations, no output schema), the description only partially covers what the tool returns. It names three example items but does not indicate if there are more or the overall structure. This leaves some ambiguity for the agent.

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?

No parameters exist, so the baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter meaning beyond the schema, and it appropriately focuses on the output scope.

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 tool retrieves WordPress site information, specifying theme, plugins, and permalink settings as examples. It uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('WordPress site information'), and it distinguishes itself from siblings like wp_list_themes and wp_get_settings by being a broader summary tool.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool or when to prefer alternatives. For instance, it doesn't mention that wp_list_themes or wp_get_settings provide more detailed, separate information. The description offers no context for decision-making.

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