Capture a tiled screenshot of a web page

screenshot
Read-only

Capture tiled PNG screenshots of web pages using a headless browser for explicit visual inspection. Respects robots.txt, rate limits, and caches results.

Instructions

For explicit visual inspection. Renders the page with a headless browser and returns tiled PNG screenshots. Built-in robots.txt compliance, rate limiting, and caching.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesTarget URL (http/https only)
scaleNoResolution scale (0.5-1.0, default 1.0); lower reduces image tokens
widthNoTile width in px (default 1280)
fullPageNoDefault true. If false, captures only the first viewport (1 tile)
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds meaningful behavioral context: headless browser rendering, tiled screenshots, robots.txt compliance, rate limiting, and caching, which goes beyond 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?

Two sentences with clear purpose first. No wasted words; every sentence adds value.

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?

For a tool with no output schema, the description covers key behaviors (headless rendering, tiling, compliance). It does not detail return structure or image format nuances, but is sufficient for agent 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 100%, so parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, but this is acceptable given complete schema coverage.

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 explicitly states 'explicit visual inspection' and specifies it returns 'tiled PNG screenshots', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools 'fetch' and 'links' which are likely text-based retrievals.

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?

The description indicates use for visual inspection, implying when to use. It does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but the context of sibling tools provides implied differentiation.

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