click

Click a web page element by CSS selector or element reference, with options for button, click count, and trusted OS-level input.

Instructions

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds the key behavior that 'trusted=true uses real OS-level input', but lacks details on error handling, waiting behavior, or side effects.

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?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences, no redundancy, and front-loads the core action and target method.

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 no output schema and a simple action, the description covers the essential mechanism. However, it could mention that the element must be visible or that the action is synchronous, but overall it is sufficient for a click tool.

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 50%. The description adds context for the 'trusted' parameter (real OS-level input) and implies mutual exclusivity of 'selector' and 'ref', but does not explain 'button', 'clickCount', or 'tabId' beyond basic schema names.

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 action ('Click an element') and the target mechanisms ('by selector or a snapshot ref'), which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like hover or press.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., hover, press). The description does not mention prerequisites or conditions for clicking, such as element visibility or loading state.

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