Read-only

Returns the forms (with every field, its label and whether it is required), buttons and links on a page, each with a CSS selector an automation tool can use. Uses the rendered page when the HTML alone has none. Charged only on success. Price: US$0.004 per successful call (API key credits or x402).

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnly/openWorld/non-destructive), the description discloses that rendering is used as a fallback when HTML has no elements, that billing occurs only on success, and the exact price and payment paths. Missing only access/prerequisite or rate-limit details, so it earns a 4 rather than a 5.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded with the return payload before moving to fallback behavior and pricing; four sentences with essentially no filler. The pricing sentence is dense but genuinely relevant to a paid, per-call API.

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?

With no output schema, the description does the work of describing return values thoroughly. However, for a 3-parameter tool with 0% schema coverage, it leaves the engine selection entirely unexplained, which is a material gap for an agent choosing between fetch and chromium-style rendering.

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 0% and the description adds no parameter semantics: url, user_agent, and especially the engine enum (auto/fetch/kitesurf/chromium) are never explained. 'Uses the rendered page when the HTML alone has none' gestures at engine behavior but never ties it to the parameter or its values, leaving the most consequential input undocumented.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description names a concrete verb and resource ('Returns the forms... buttons and links on a page') and enumerates the returned contents (fields, labels, required flags, CSS selectors), so an agent knows exactly what comes back. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like extract, read, or screenshot, which keeps it below a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

'each with a CSS selector an automation tool can use' implies the intended use case (browser automation), and the rendered-page note implies when the tool is necessary. But there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not clause and no mention of when extract, read, or screenshot would be preferable.

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