Capture a tiled screenshot of a web page

screenshot
Read-only

Render web pages as tiled PNG images for visual inspection, layout review, and image-based extraction. Control viewport width, scale, and full-page capture to manage output.

Instructions

Render a page in a headless browser and return it as up to 10 tiled PNG images (1280px wide by default; fullPage: false returns only the first viewport). Pages taller than 10 tiles are cut off and the response says truncated: true. Use it when the layout or an image is the information (pricing tables, banners, visual QA) or when you need explicit viewport/scale control; scale: 0.5 roughly halves image tokens. For text content use fetch. Built-in robots.txt compliance, rate limiting, and caching.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint and openWorldHint annotations, the description discloses significant behavioral traits: tiling up to 10 tiles, truncation with a 'truncated: true' flag, default width 1280, fullPage false behavior, built-in robots.txt compliance, rate limiting, and caching. It also notes the token impact of scale. No contradictions with annotations.

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 dense and front-loaded, starting with the core action and output, then behavioral details, usage guidance, and alternative. Every sentence adds necessary information without redundancy or fluff.

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 there is no output schema, the description explains the return as 'up to 10 tiled PNG images' and mentions the 'truncated: true' response field. It covers the main behaviors and usage, though it doesn't specify the exact output structure (e.g., array of image URLs vs base64) or error handling. For a moderately complex tool with 4 parameters, this is fairly complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the effect of scale on image tokens ('scale: 0.5 roughly halves image tokens'), the default width, and the fullPage behavior (only first viewport when false). It also clarifies the tiling and truncation mechanics, exceeding the schema descriptions.

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 renders a page in a headless browser and returns tiled PNG images, with specific parameters like tile width and fullPage behavior. It differentiates from the sibling tool fetch by explicitly stating 'For text content use fetch', making its purpose distinct.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Use it when the layout or an image is the information (pricing tables, banners, visual QA) or when you need explicit viewport/scale control.' It also gives the alternative: 'For text content use fetch.' This is clear and actionable.

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