Inspect image

haden_image
Read-only

Retrieve the actual pixel data for an image reference from the most recent browser snapshot when alt text or placeholders are insufficient.

Instructions

Return the actual pixels for one img ref from the latest snapshot. Use only after alt text/placeholders are insufficient for the goal.

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds context about the data source ('latest snapshot') and output nature ('actual pixels'), but doesn't detail return format or potential edge cases, which is acceptable given annotation coverage.

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 concise sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and followed by a usage condition. Every word is purposeful, with no filler or repetition.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one param, no nested objects) and rich annotations (readOnly, openWorld, destructive), the description sufficiently covers what the tool does and when to use it. The absence of an output schema reduces the need to document return values.

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?

With one parameter (ref) and schema description coverage of 0%, the description does not explicitly explain the parameter format. However, the schema pattern (^img\d+$) and the phrase 'one img ref' provide some meaning. The description adds minimal semantic value beyond what the schema already implies.

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's function with a specific verb and resource: 'Return the actual pixels for one img ref from the latest snapshot.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like haden_read or haden_open by focusing on image pixel retrieval.

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?

It provides explicit guidance on when to use the tool: 'Use only after alt text/placeholders are insufficient for the goal.' This implies alternatives (alt text/placeholders) and sets a clear condition, though it does not name specific sibling tools or list when-not-to-use scenarios.

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