launch_floorp

Idempotent

Launches Floorp browser when its automation API is unreachable, waiting for it to become ready. No-op if already running.

Instructions

Ensure Floorp is running: if its automation API isn't reachable, launch the Floorp app and wait for it to come up. No-op if already running. Windows only (set FLOORP_PATH to override the exe location).

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide idempotentHint and openWorldHint. Description adds platform restriction, path override, and wait behavior. No contradiction. Could mention error scenarios, but sufficient for a launch tool.

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 sentences, front-loaded with key action and conditions. Every word adds value. No redundancy.

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?

For a zero-param tool, description covers behavior, platform, and configuration. Could elaborate on 'automation API reachable' or error handling, but still very complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

No parameters; baseline is 4. Schema coverage is 100% trivially. Description does not need to add parameter info. No param info is provided, which is fine.

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?

The description clearly states the tool ensures Floorp is running by checking the automation API, launching if needed, and no-op if already running. It distinguishes from sibling 'launch' by specifying Floorp and the condition.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly tells when to use (ensure Floorp running) and platform constraint (Windows only) with environment variable override. Implicitly indicates no-op if running, guiding efficient use.

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