Choose from a list

cotlet_browser_select
Destructive

Chooses an option of a drop-down list on the current page in the user's Skool Cloud Browser, by the list's number in the element list and the option's label as read lists it (or its value). Returns the URL and title after it. Card fields and account pages are refused. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered; the description still adds value with the return value (URL and title), the refusal conditions, and the credit/session lifecycle (3 minutes after the last call). It stops short of saying what state is irreversibly changed or how to recover from a wrong selection.

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?

The core action is front-loaded in the first clause and every sentence carries information, but the final sentence about session credits is long and largely session-generic rather than specific to this tool.

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?

With no output schema, the description correctly states what is returned (URL and title), documents both required parameters, and discloses refusals and cost. Complete enough to invoke correctly; only the exact failure behavior on refusal is unstated.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds genuine meaning beyond the schema by clarifying that the option is matched by its label 'as read lists it (or its value)', which tells the agent both accepted forms of the second parameter.

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 ('Chooses') and resource ('an option of a drop-down list'), plus the two coordinates it needs (list's number in the element list, option label/value). That is enough for an agent to tell it apart from cotlet_browser_click or cotlet_browser_type without opening the schema.

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 a real exclusion boundary: 'Card fields and account pages are refused.' It also implies usage context via the session/credit note. It does not, however, name a sibling alternative for when the target is not a select element, so no explicit 'use X instead' routing.

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