Privy MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Pause display in Privy

privy_pause_display
Read-onlyIdempotent

Pause display in the user's own Privy account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in Privy step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Privy Cloud Browser. Privy's official API: Privy has a public API on paid plans and a read-only MCP server (checked 23 Oct 2026).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavior: the call returns procedural guidance (screens, buttons, fields) rather than performing the action, which is the single most important thing an agent needs to know. The trailing note about Privy's official API/paid plans is tangential and adds little behavioral value.

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?

The core behavior is front-loaded in the first sentence, which is good. But "from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent" is filler, and the API/paid-plan/MCP-server aside is unrelated to invoking this tool and inflates the definition without helping selection or execution.

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 zero-parameter guidance tool with no output schema, the description covers what it does, what it returns (step-by-step instructions), what it does not do (no side effects), and what to do next (cotlet_browser_*). The main remaining gap is that "display" is never defined and no prerequisites or failure modes are mentioned.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so the schema has nothing to explain and there is no semantic gap for the description to fill. Baseline for a parameterless tool applies; nothing in the description contradicts or obscures the empty input.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ("Pause display in the user's own Privy account") and scopes it to the user's own account. It contrasts implicitly with the sibling privy_launch_display (pause vs. launch) but never names or explains that alternative, and it leaves "display" undefined, so an agent must infer what object is being paused.

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 real workflow context: the tool returns step-by-step instructions and "opens nothing by itself," then the agent should carry out the action with cotlet_browser_* tools in the Privy Cloud Browser. That routing guidance is explicit and actionable. It stops short of saying when NOT to use it (e.g., versus privy_launch_display or a direct browser flow).

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