Read the page

cotlet_browser_read
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the current page of the user's Tradify Cloud Browser: its readable text, up to 20,000 characters, and a numbered list of its links, buttons and fields. Field values, cookies and storage are never returned. On a page longer than that, both start near where it is scrolled to. Every started minute of the session costs credits; it ends when closed or 3 minutes after the last call in the browser.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive annotations: 20,000-character cap, truncation anchored near the current scroll position, explicit exclusion of field values, cookies and storage, and a credit/session cost model with a 3-minute idle termination. That is exactly the operational context annotations cannot convey.

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?

Four sentences, front-loaded with the resource and payload, then truncation behaviour, then the cost caveat. No sentence is redundant and the cost warning is placed at the end where it is still noticeable.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With no output schema, the description carries the full burden of describing return values and does so precisely, including limits and what is deliberately omitted. Nothing an agent needs to call this correctly is absent.

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 no parameters and the schema coverage is 100%, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly spends no words on inputs.

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 ('Returns the current page of the user's Tradify Cloud Browser') and enumerates what comes back: readable text plus a numbered list of links, buttons and fields. That content profile implicitly separates it from cotlet_browser_screenshot, but the siblings are never named, so the differentiation must be inferred.

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?

Use is implied by the returned content ('readable text' + interactive element list), which suggests calling it before click/type to learn what is on the page. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not statement and no pointer to the screenshot or navigate siblings for the cases this tool does not cover.

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