TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is partly covered. The description adds useful context such as using a real browser, returning markdown, and starting from 5 credits, but it omits operational details like step limits, timeout behavior, and proxy/stealth implications.

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 compact, front-loaded with the core operation, and includes a concrete js_scenario example plus cost note. It could be slightly clearer about how the example maps to required parameters, but there is little wasted text.

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 15-parameter tool with no output schema and very low schema description coverage, the description is too thin. It does not explain most parameters, and its statement that the tool returns markdown omits the html format option exposed by the schema.

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 only 7% with 15 parameters, so the description must carry most of the semantic load. It provides a js_scenario example and mentions markdown output, but leaves url, cookies, timeout, wait, wait_for, block_ads, render_js, screenshot, wait_browser, proxy options, block_resources, and capture_runtime_issues essentially undocumented.

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?

The description gives a specific verb and resource: open a page in a real browser, run click/fill/scroll/wait steps, and return the page as markdown. It distinguishes itself from static scraping siblings through the browser-interaction framing, but it does not explicitly name an alternative tool.

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?

Usage is implied by the browser-automation scenario and the js_scenario example. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool versus scrapeWebsite, extractStructuredData, or other siblings, and no when-not-to-use conditions.

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