Selenium MCP Server

click_element

Click a web element by locating it with a selector strategy (CSS, XPath, ID, name, text, partialText) to automate browser interactions and complete UI actions.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral details, but it does not mention waiting behavior, default timeout, whether the element must be visible/interactable, what happens if no element matches, or whether it clicks the first match. The description only restates the basic action.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence that is easy to parse and contains no filler. It is concise, though it omits some selector strategies and behavioral details.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and three parameters, the description leaves out important context such as waiting semantics, timeout behavior, error conditions, and interaction with page state. It is minimally adequate but not complete enough for an agent to confidently invoke the tool in varied scenarios.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the schema already documents selector, strategy, and timeoutMs. The description adds a partial list of strategies but omits 'tag' and 'class' from the enum, and adds no meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the action ('Click') and the target resource ('an element'), and mentions selector strategies. It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling interaction tools like fill_element or hover_element, but the verb alone provides a clear purpose.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like hover_element, fill_element, or press_key. The intended usage is only implied by the tool name and description, with no conditions or exclusions provided.

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