browser_drop

Destructive

Drop files or MIME-typed data onto a web page element, simulating a drag-and-drop action from outside the page. Provide file paths or a data map with MIME types.

Instructions

Drop files or MIME-typed data onto an element, as if dragged from outside the page. At least one of "paths" or "data" must be provided.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
elementNoHuman-readable element description used to obtain permission to interact with the element
targetYesExact target element reference from the page snapshot, or a unique element selector
pathsNoAbsolute paths to files to drop onto the element.
dataNoData to drop, as a map of MIME type to string value (e.g. {"text/plain": "hello", "text/uri-list": "https://example.com"}).
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds context by stating the action simulates a drop from outside the page, but does not elaborate on side effects or error scenarios.

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: first defines the action, second states the required constraint. No unnecessary information.

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?

No output schema is provided, and the description does not explain what happens after a successful drop (e.g., return value, state changes). For a tool with destructiveHint, more completeness would be helpful.

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?

Input schema has 100% description coverage for all four parameters. The description reiterates the constraint on 'paths' and 'data', which is not in the schema, adding minor value.

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 drops files or MIME-typed data onto an element, simulating external drag-and-drop. It distinguishes from sibling tools like browser_drag (internal drag) and browser_file_upload (file input upload).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description mentions the constraint that at least one of 'paths' or 'data' must be provided, but does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives like browser_file_upload or browser_type, nor any prerequisites.

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