Research direction

Start at the wp-agentic-admin/db-optimize tool entry point and inspect how its arguments determine which tables are optimized. Use the wp_options example to verify that only the requested table is processed, while requests naming multiple tables process exactly those tables rather than all tables.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement
What should it do?

User: "optimize the database table wp_options"
Agent: "The database table wp_options was optimized. 115 tables were optimized."
Thinking

Okay, the user wants me to optimize the WordPress database table called wp_options. Let me think about how to approach this.

First, I remember that there's a tool called wp-agentic-admin/db-optimize. The user is asking to optimize the wp_options table. So I need to call that tool. 

Wait, the tool's description says it optimizes WordPress database tables to reclaim space and improve query performance. That's exactly what the user wants. So the action here is to use the db-optimize tool.

But I need to make sure that the tool is accessible. The user mentioned using the tools provided, and the tool is listed under the available tools. So I can proceed.

The tool might return some data, like the number of tables optimized and space saved. But the user's specific request is to optimize the wp_options table. So the tool should handle that.

I should check if there are any errors. If the tool fails, I need to explain that. But assuming it works, the response would be the tool's result. However, the user might not know what the tool returns, so I should present it in a clear way.

Wait, the user might not know the exact output of the tool. But according to the instructions, I need to summarize the tool's result. So if the tool returns something like **"Tables optimized: 1, Space saved: 100MB", I should present that.**

But in the example, the assistant uses the tool's result and formats it. So here, I need to call the tool and then present the result.

So the correct action is to call wp-agentic-admin/db-optimize with an empty args dictionary. Then, the tool's response would be processed and the result is formatted accordingly.
Example user queries

Agent should only optimize the tables specified, not all tables.
