† Chrome Slim は絶対的なトークン最小値ですが、これは低レベルなJavaScript制御のベースラインです。モデルがページスクリプトを作成する必要があり、テストしたパスではセマンティックなアクション参照や画像altテキストが返されませんでした。そのため、透明性のために表示していますが、セマンティックブラウザと同等とは見なしていません。
コアコンテキストには、完全なツールスキーマの読み込みと、記事の読み取り、フォーム送信、計算スタイルの検査のためのシリアライズされたMCPツール呼び出しと結果が含まれます。カウントは o200k_base トークナイザーを使用しています。画像ピクセル、ユーザー/システムプロンプト、モデルの推論や散文は除外されているため、実際の課金使用量はMCPホストとモデルによって異なります。

他と何が違うのか
目標ベースのビュー — リサーチにはコンパクトなセマンティックテキスト、構造にはサニタイズされたDOM、ビジュアル作業には境界のある計算スタイルを使用します。
画像は遅延読み込み — 画像はaltテキストまたは
[image img1]として表現されます。ピクセルデータは、AIが明示的にhaden_imageを呼び出した場合にのみ返されます。低ラウンドトリップ制御 — すべてのインタラクションが新しいスナップショットを返すため、ほとんどのクリック/タイプフローはステップごとに1回のツール呼び出しで済みます。
安定したアクション参照 — 表示されているコントロールは
e1、e2などになり、モデルにCSSセレクタを考案させるよりも安価で信頼性が高くなります。デフォルトで高速 — 通常のブラウジング中は、画像、メディア、フォントのリクエストがブロックされます。CSSはビジュアルビューで利用可能です。
より安全なローカル実行 — HTTP以外のスキーム、資格情報を含むURL、プライベートネットワークターゲットは、ユーザーが明示的にオプトインしない限りブロックされます。

Available Tools
5 toolshaden_imageInspect imageARead-only
Return the actual pixels for one img ref from the latest snapshot. Use only after alt text/placeholders are insufficient for the goal.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ref | Yes |
TDQS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
haden_interactInteract with pageADestructive
Perform one browser action and immediately return the updated snapshot, avoiding an extra read call. click/fill/select need a current e ref; press can target a ref or the page.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | No | ||
| ref | No | ||
| mode | No | text | |
| value | No | ||
| action | Yes | ||
| amount | No | ||
| waitMs | No | ||
| maxChars | No | ||
| direction | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes the immediate return of the updated snapshot, adding value beyond the destructiveHint annotation. Does not contradict annotations.
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?
Two sentences, no fluff, well-structured and easy to parse.
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?
Explains core behavior and return, but lacks detail on parameter usage and edge cases, which is somewhat expected given the 9 parameters and 3 enums.
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?
Only partially explains parameters (action, ref), leaving many (key, value, amount, waitMs, maxChars) undocumented. Schema enums help but description does not compensate sufficiently.
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?
Clearly states it performs a browser action and returns an updated snapshot, distinguishing it from read-only siblings like read and status.
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?
Provides guidance on when to use (to avoid extra read calls) and which actions require a current ref, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
haden_openOpen web pageARead-only
Open an HTTP(S) URL and return an AI-optimized snapshot. text is fastest; dom returns sanitized HTML; visual adds computed layout/CSS.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | ||
| mode | No | text | |
| maxChars | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds valuable behavioral details: returning an AI-optimized snapshot and specifying sanitized HTML for dom mode. It does not contradict annotations and offers meaningful context beyond them.
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 a single sentence that front-loads the core action and then efficiently outlines mode differences. Every clause adds value; there is no fluff or redundancy. It is concise and well-structured.
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?
For a tool with 3 parameters, no output schema, and moderate complexity, the description covers purpose and mode meanings but omits maxChars explanation and does not clarify what 'snapshot' encompasses beyond the modes. It is adequate but leaves room for improvement, especially since schema coverage is zero.
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?
Schema descriptions cover 0% of parameters, so the description must compensate. It effectively explains the mode parameter (text/dom/visual semantics), but fails to describe maxChars, leaving its purpose and constraints solely to the schema. Url is self-evident from its format but still lacks narrative. Given the low coverage, this is insufficient.
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 the primary action (open an HTTP(S) URL) and the result (AI-optimized snapshot), making the purpose clear. It doesn't explicitly compare with sibling tools, but the resource and verb are specific enough to differentiate from likely 'read' or 'interact' functions.
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?
Provides guidance on choosing output modes (text, dom, visual) with performance/reliability trade-offs, but lacks explicit direction on when to use this tool versus sibling tools like haden_read or haden_interact. The description implies usage for fetching web pages but does not state alternatives or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
haden_readRead current pageARead-only
Read the current page again, optionally limited to a CSS selector. Returns stable e refs for actions and img refs for optional image retrieval.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | text | |
| maxChars | No | ||
| selector | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds value by disclosing that refs are stable and that image retrieval is optional. It does not contradict annotations, and the additional behavioral context (stable refs) goes beyond the schema.
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 a single concise sentence followed by a clarifying clause. It front-loads the core purpose and adds only high-value return info. No fluff, every word contributes.
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?
With no output schema and 3 parameters lacking schema descriptions, the description is incomplete. It covers the selector's purpose but ignores mode and maxChars, which are essential for understanding output types and limits. The refs info helps but does not bridge the gap.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains 'selector' via 'optionally limited to a CSS selector', but gives no meaning for 'mode' (text/dom/visual) or 'maxChars'. This is a significant gap for effective tool invocation, as agents cannot infer the purpose of these parameters.
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 clearly states the tool reads the current page, optionally limited by a CSS selector, and mentions it returns stable refs for actions and images. This specific verb+resource+scope distinguishes it from siblings like haden_interact or haden_open.
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?
The description implies when to use it ('Read the current page again') and mentions optional selector, which suggests targeted reading. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use it or compare with alternatives like haden_image for visual capture, though the context is reasonably clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
haden_statusBrowser statusARead-only
Report whether the browser is running and which page is active.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description aligns with the annotations (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false) and adds a small behavioral detail: it reports the active page, not just a running flag. However, it does not disclose what happens if the browser is not running, what 'active page' means in practice, or whether the tool returns a simple boolean, a URL, or both. With annotations already signaling safety, the description adds only modest context.
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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word earns its place: it names the action, the target resource, and the exact two pieces of information reported.
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?
For a zero-parameter read-only status tool with no output schema, the description is sufficiently complete. It clearly states what the tool reports, and no additional input or prerequisite detail is needed. The absence of an output schema is compensated by specifying that the tool reports both browser-running state and active page.
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 tool has zero parameters and the schema contains no properties, so the description does not need to explain parameter meaning. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4, and the description correctly focuses on behavior rather than inputs.
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 uses a specific verb ('Report') and a clear resource ('whether the browser is running and which page is active'), making the tool's purpose immediately obvious. It is also clearly differentiated from sibling tools like haden_open, haden_read, haden_interact, and haden_image, which describe actions rather than state inspection.
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?
There is no explicit guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any when-not-to-use conditions. The context is implied by the name and siblings, but the description does not state that this should be used before acting on the browser or how it relates to the other browser tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a unique, non-overlapping purpose: open, read, interact, image, and status. No ambiguity between them.
All tools follow the consistent 'haden_' prefix with clear action verbs (open, read, interact, image, status). The pattern is uniform.
Five tools provide a well-scoped set for browser automation—covering navigation, reading, interaction, visual capture, and state checking—without excess or deficiency.
The set covers core browser operations, but lacks explicit navigation controls (e.g., back, forward, refresh) and waiting mechanisms. These can be worked around via interact/open, but are minor gaps.
