textYesText to type into the element
slowlyNoWhether to type one character at a time. Useful for triggering key handlers in the page. By default entire text is filled in at once.
submitNoWhether to submit entered text (press Enter after)
targetYesExact target element reference from the page snapshot, or a unique element selector
elementNoHuman-readable element description used to obtain permission to interact with the element
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the agent knows this is a mutating operation. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond the literal action, such as whether it replaces text or how it handles focus.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the basic function without waste. Perfectly concise.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity and the rich schema/annotations, the description is minimally sufficient, but it leaves out details about side effects or return behavior that could be important for an agent. A more complete description would mention whether the text replaces existing content or if the target needs to be focused.

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?

The schema describes all 5 parameters with 100% coverage, so the description does not need to elaborate. It adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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 verb 'Type' and the resource 'editable element', making its core function evident. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like browser_fill_form or browser_press_key, so it falls short of a 5.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, and no prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned. The schema descriptions for `slowly` and `submit` offer some context, but the description itself is silent.

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