Idempotent

Focuses a component or moves one position. Acknowledges after the selected component renders.

C2.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds a useful timing detail ('Acknowledges after the selected component renders'), but it does not explain required control state, revision conflict behavior, or side effects beyond the annotations.

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 description is two tight sentences with no filler, and the action is front-loaded. Its brevity is appropriate structurally, though it is too terse to cover the tool's parameter complexity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a five-parameter, three-required-parameter mutation-like operation with no output schema and no schema descriptions, the definition is incomplete. It should explain the purpose of operationID, expectedRevision, controlToken, and the direction enum, as well as return/acknowledgment semantics.

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 only loosely maps to componentID ('component') and direction ('moves one position'). It says nothing about the required operationID, expectedRevision, or controlToken parameters, leaving most parameter semantics undocumented.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description gives a verb and resource ('Focuses a component') and hints at movement ('moves one position'), but the purpose remains ambiguous: it does not clarify whether it changes keyboard focus, selection, or component order. It also does not distinguish itself from siblings like select or click.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit guidance on when to use navigate versus select, click, or other navigation-related siblings. Usage is only implied by the phrase 'Focuses a component or moves one position.'

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