captcha_handle_auto

Automatically handles detected captchas, using built-in bypass for Turnstile and requesting human intervention for others like ReCAPTCHA v2, hCaptcha, or image challenges.

Instructions

Attempt to automatically handle any detected captcha. For Turnstile: uses built-in bypass. For others (ReCAPTCHA v2, hCaptcha, image challenges): returns need for human intervention.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
timeoutNoTimeout in seconds for automatic handling (default: 30.0)
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided; description bears full burden. It discloses auto-handle attempts and outcome based on captcha type (bypass vs. human need), which is transparent and useful for an agent.

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?

Two efficient sentences, no redundancy, front-loaded with key behavior.

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?

Description covers return outcomes (bypass vs. human need) and aligns with sibling tools. Lacks mention of error handling or behavior when no captcha detected, but is adequate for a simple tool without output schema.

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 coverage is 100% and the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's description of the timeout parameter. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states it attempts automatic captcha handling, specifying behavior for Turnstile (built-in bypass) and other types (human intervention). This differentiates from sibling tools like captcha_detect_type or captcha_request_human_intervention.

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?

The description implies when to use this tool (for automatic handling) and when human intervention is needed, but does not explicitly name alternative tools or provide 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.
