Wait for download

browser_download_wait

Waits for a newly started Chrome download to complete and returns the saved file path. Call after clicking a download button to get the file location.

Instructions

Waits for the most recently started download to finish and returns the saved file path (user's Chrome download folder). Call after clicking the download button. Returns as soon as it finishes.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It usefully notes the return location ('user's Chrome download folder') and that it returns early, but it omits what happens on timeout, if no download is in progress, or whether it blocks other slots – meaningful gaps for a blocking wait tool.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core behavior. 'Returns as soon as it finishes' partially restates the waiting behavior but does clarify it is not a fixed-duration wait, so it earns its place.

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?

With no output schema, the description correctly explains the return value (saved file path in the Chrome download folder). It is complete on inputs and outputs but leaves the timeout/failure outcome unspecified.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents slot, agent, and timeout with examples and ranges. The description adds nothing about any parameter, so the baseline 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a specific verb ('Waits') and resource ('the most recently started download') plus the return ('saved file path'). It does not name the relevant sibling browser_wait, so an agent must infer the distinction from context, but the scope ('most recently started download', Chrome download folder) is clear.

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?

'Call after clicking the download button' gives explicit timing, which is the key usage condition. It stops short of naming an alternative (e.g. browser_wait) or stating when not to use it, so it is clear but not fully routed.

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