Destructive

Navigate the connected browser to a URL that the user asked for. Use it only for websites and accounts that the user owns or is authorized to use, and follow their terms. Stop at logins, MFA and CAPTCHAs and hand control to the user; this tool does not solve CAPTCHAs.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true; the description adds real behavioral context beyond that — it disclaims CAPTCHA solving, says to halt at auth walls and MFA, and bounds the tool to authorized destinations. It doesn't describe what happens after navigation (page state, whether content is returned) or timeouts, which keeps it at 4.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action, then the safety constraints. Every clause carries actionable information: scope, authorization, stopping conditions, and the CAPTCHA disclaimer.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a navigation tool with full schema coverage but no output schema, the description covers authorization, interruption behavior and safety well. It omits post-navigation expectations (e.g., that content is not returned and get_page_content should follow), which would round it out.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so url, sessionId, waitUntil and browserAddress are already documented including the enum and default. The description adds no extra parameter meaning (e.g., when to prefer networkidle0 vs load), so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Navigate the connected browser to a URL') and scopes it to user-requested destinations. This clearly separates it from siblings like get_page_content, click_element or open_browser, which either read, interact with, or create the browser.

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?

Gives concrete when-to-use conditions: only URLs the user asked for, only sites/accounts the user owns or is authorized to use, and it explicitly stops at logins, MFA and CAPTCHAs, handing control back to the user. It doesn't name sibling alternatives (e.g., use get_page_content after navigation), so it falls short of a 5.

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