A3.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, how suitability is determined, what happens when no parent exists, or whether it returns one ID or multiple candidates. The verb 'Find' implies non-mutating behavior, but that is not explicit.

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 with no filler. It states what the tool does and the context for use economically.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The tool has a simple one-parameter interface, but there is no output schema and no annotations. The description implies an element ID is returned, but it does not explicitly state the return format, possible null/error conditions, or selection behavior among multiple suitable parents. This leaves some ambiguity for an agent relying solely on the description.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The schema already fully documents page_id as a WordPress page ID. The description adds useful context by specifying that the page should be an Elementor page, which narrows the parameter's meaning and helps the agent select appropriate inputs.

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 uses a specific verb ('Find') with a clear resource ('suitable parent column or container element ID') and context ('for inserting widgets on an Elementor page'). It is distinguishable from sibling tools like wp_elementor_find_widgets or wp_elementor_get_structure, so an agent can understand what this tool uniquely does.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear usage context: it should be used when preparing to insert widgets into an Elementor page and a parent element ID is needed. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the intended usage is apparent from the phrasing.

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