v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, yet it says nothing about whether reading a draft/unpublished page requires authentication, what happens when the ID does not exist, or what the response contains. 'Get' implies a read-only operation but that is inference, not disclosure.
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 short sentence with the verb and resource front-loaded and no wasted words. It is terse but not padded.
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?
For a one-parameter read tool with no output schema and no annotations, the minimum viable bar is barely met: an agent can guess the call shape from the name and schema, but gets no help on permissions, error cases, or the shape of the returned page.
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 0% for the single required id parameter. The phrase 'by ID' hints at the parameter's role but adds no detail on type (integer), validity range, or whether the ID is a page ID versus a slug — the schema itself declares only 'integer' with no description.
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?
States a specific verb (Get) and resource (WordPress page) keyed by ID. It is distinguishable from wp_get_post by naming 'page', but it does not explicitly contrast itself with siblings like wp_get_post or wp_pages_search.
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?
There is no when-to-use guidance at all — nothing about when to fetch a single page by ID versus using wp_pages_search, nor any precondition for calling it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
