TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations and no output schema, so the description carries the full burden and delivers almost nothing: no mention of whether existing field content is cleared or appended, whether a selector is mandatory, what happens with an invalid chain, or what the tool returns. "(e.g. 2,7,0)" is the only concrete behavioral hint, and it is unexplained.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single clause with no padding and the fallback framing is front-loaded, which is good. But for a six-parameter browser interaction tool the size is driven by under-specification rather than economy; the one parenthesis spends characters on a bare example instead of explaining the chain.

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

Completeness2/5

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

A six-param, mutation-style browser input tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 17% schema coverage needs substantially more explanation than two fragments. An agent can guess the fallback role but not how to build a valid chain or which parameters are actually required to succeed.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 17% (only notification_message is documented), and the description covers just the chain format for one of six params. It never clarifies the relationship between method vs input_method, the role of selector, or how tab_id and text are used, leaving four parameters ambiguous in both schema and prose.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

"Run dom input method chain" gives a verb and a resource, and the mention of list_input_methods plus "stubborn fields" hints that this is a fallback text-input path. But "dom input method chain" is jargon: the description never says what actually happens (typing text into a field via a sequence of DOM events), so an agent must reverse-engineer intent from the name.

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?

"use after list_input_methods on stubborn fields" is real sequencing guidance: it tells the agent to call the sibling lister first and reserves this tool for cases where normal input fails. It does not name the obvious alternatives (browser_type, browser_fill) it should be tried after, so the routing is implied rather than explicit.

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