get_addon_plugins

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

The description implies a read-only operation (get) but does not explicitly state no side effects. With no annotations, the description provides basic behavioral info (returns list with status) but lacks details like caching, data freshness, or behavior when no plugins are available.

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 a single, efficient sentence. It front-loads the verb and resource, and every word adds value. No unnecessary elaboration.

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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is quite complete: it names the specific plugins and what status is reported. It could mention potential errors, but that's minor. It effectively communicates the tool's functionality.

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?

The input schema has no parameters (100% schema coverage). The description adds meaning by explaining what the tool returns (list of plugins with install/active status), which is the primary purpose. Baseline 4 is appropriate as there are no parameters to document.

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 action (get list) and the specific resource (WPCafe addon plugins like Elementor Addons, Bricks Builder, Multivendor) and what information is returned (whether installed and active). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_extensions which likely cover different categories.

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 versus alternatives such as list_extensions or other get/list tools. The description does not mention prerequisites or conditions for using this tool.

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