Input schema / properties / sessionId / descriptionPrevious value: -"ID de sesión del navegador conectado"New value: +"Session ID of the connected browser"Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, which is the primary reason credit is limited. The description adds nothing beyond a one-line restatement of the action: it does not mention that clicks can trigger navigation or irreversible page state changes, nor any wait/settle behavior after clicking. With annotations carrying the safety profile, a 2 reflects only marginal added value.
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?
One short sentence with no wasted words and the action front-loaded. It is efficient, though its brevity borders on under-specification rather than true conciseness.
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 destructive, open-world mutation tool with no output schema, the description omits what the agent should expect: post-click effects (navigation, DOM changes), failure modes for invalid selectors, and whether the call waits for load completion. Annotations cover the safety flags, but the operational context an agent needs is missing.
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 100% and both parameters (sessionId, selector) are fully documented in the schema, so the description need not restate them. Baseline 3 applies because the description contributes no additional parameter semantics such as selector matching behavior or handling of non-existent elements.
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 states a verb and resource ('Click on a page element'), so the basic action is identifiable. However, it offers no scope or distinguishing detail relative to siblings such as type_text or get_elements — an agent could not tell from this text alone which interaction tool is appropriate.
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 guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like type_text or get_elements, and no prerequisites (e.g., that a session must be connected first) are mentioned. The agent must infer everything from the name and schema.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
