Stop Browser Engine

importio_stop
Idempotent

Stop the browser engine, tearing down the current page and session state; call it when finished with a browsing task or when the engine is wedged and the next steps must start fresh.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is partly covered. The description still adds real behavioral context the annotations lack: that page and session state are destroyed, which tells the agent what is lost and that in-flight work cannot be resumed afterwards. It stops short of saying whether a subsequent call re-initializes the engine.

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?

A single sentence with the action front-loaded and the usage conditions trailing in a subordinate clause. No filler, no restatement of the title, and the consequence of calling it appears before the when-to-use guidance.

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, no-output-schema lifecycle tool with full annotation coverage, the definition supplies enough to act correctly: what it stops, what state is discarded, and when to reach for it. The only gap is what the engine's state is after the call, which matters for back-to-back teardown/restart flows.

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 there is nothing for the description to disambiguate and the schema cannot be improved upon. The baseline for a no-parameter tool applies cleanly here.

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 and resource ('Stop the browser engine') plus the concrete consequence ('tearing down the current page and session state'). No sibling tool in the list performs teardown, so the agent can distinguish it from the many importio_action_* and importio_web_* tools purely from this sentence.

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 two explicit triggering conditions: task completion and a wedged engine requiring a fresh start. That is more than most lifecycle tools offer, though it does not name an alternative (e.g., importio_refresh or starting a new goto) for the 'start fresh' case, so the agent must infer that teardown is the right reset mechanism.

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