A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full disclosure burden; it does clarify that movement is absolute (not relative), which is meaningful behavior beyond the schema. However it omits side effects or immediacy (does the move animate, is it instantaneous, does it need a screen/focus context), so key behavioral context is missing.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler; nothing is padded or repeated from the title.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and the description covers the core intent for a simple two-parameter pointer-movement tool. The remaining gap is coordinate-system detail (units, origin, monitor selection) that an agent must guess for reliable invocation.

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 0%, so the description is the only source of meaning for x and y, and saying they are "absolute screen coordinates" does help. It still omits units (pixels assumed), origin (top-left), multi-monitor handling, and valid ranges/negative values.

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?

States a specific verb ("Move") and resource ("mouse pointer") plus the coordinate mode ("absolute screen coordinates"), which distinguishes it from path/relative movement siblings such as move_path.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and never names alternatives like move_path (relative/path motion) or drag_mouse (press-and-hold motion). The only hint is that this is for absolute rather than relative positioning.

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