A3.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and scope; it does not mention that a reload may discard unsaved form state, whether it waits for the page to finish loading, or any potential side effects. This is a major gap for a mutation-like action.

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?

The description is a single sentence that front-loads the action and scope, then immediately gives the routing caveat. Every word earns its place; nothing is verbose or redundant.

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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the core 'what' and 'when'. However, the lack of behavioral disclosure (e.g., what happens on reload, any waiting behavior) means the agent may be underinformed. It is adequate but not complete; a note about page load behavior would make it robust.

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?

The schema already fully covers the parameter (pageId with description 'Page ID from web_navigate'). The description only repeats 'by pageId' without adding new meaning. With 100% schema coverage, baseline of 3 applies; no extra context is provided beyond the schema.

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?

The description states a specific verb ('Reload'), resource ('DESKTOP grid browser'), and mechanism ('by pageId'). It actively distinguishes itself from the sibling tool webpage_reload, so an agent knows exactly which tool to pick even among many reload-like tools.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It explicitly says when NOT to use it ('Not a device') and directs to the correct alternative ('for a phone or tablet use webpage_reload'). This is clear, unambiguous guidance for routing between desktop and mobile reload tools.

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