computer_scroll

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

The description discloses the scaled coordinate space (1429x804) and that coordinates are in that space, which is helpful. However, it does not explain what a 'scroll click' means (line/pixel increments), whether it simulates a scroll wheel, or behavior of negative amounts. No annotations exist to compensate.

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

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

Two sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence states the action, the second provides coordinate context. Perfectly front-loaded and concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description provides display dimensions and coordinate space, but lacks details on expected behavior (e.g., what gets scrolled, whether coordinates must be within bounds, or return value). With no output schema, more context would help.

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

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

Input schema has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds no further meaning beyond the schema—'scroll clicks' is mentioned but not clarified. No additional semantic enrichment.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool scrolls at given coordinates in a specified direction. It uses a specific verb ('scroll') and resource ('coordinates'), and the action is distinct from sibling tools like mouse_move or computer_zoom.

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

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., hold_key with page up/down). It only states what it does without any context on best practices or exclusions.

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