get_browser_items_at_path

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It only restates 'get' (already in the name) and provides parameter formatting. It does not mention read-only nature, return format, error behavior, or any side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is short and front-loaded with the core purpose. The parameter list is compact and every sentence earns its place without redundant filler.

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

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

The description is adequate for a relatively simple getter but leaves gaps: there is no output schema and no mention of what the returned item list looks like or how invalid paths are handled. It also does not clarify how this differs from sibling browsing tools beyond the phrase 'specific path'.

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

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

The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It does: 'path' gets a format explanation, and 'user_prompt' is labeled as telemetry. This adds real semantic value beyond the raw schema properties.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb ('get') and resource ('browser items') with a clear scope ('at a specific path'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_browser_tree (whole tree) and search_browser_items (query-based search).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied: the description suggests this tool is for retrieving browser items when you have a known path, but it does not explicitly say when to use it instead of get_browser_tree or search_browser_items. No exclusion criteria or alternatives are named.

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