Behavior3/5

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

Discloses the scrolling behavior (center element), but lacks details on what happens if the element is not found, whether it requires the element to be visible, or any side effects. No annotations to supplement.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Very concise single sentence with no fluff, but could benefit from a brief note on error handling or parameter specifics without sacrificing brevity.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Adequate for a simple scroll action, but missing information about return value (void), error scenarios, and interaction with page state. Sufficient for basic use but not comprehensive.

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?

The only parameter 'selector' is implied to be a CSS selector by the description, but not explicitly stated. With 0% schema coverage, the description does not fully document the parameter format or provide examples.

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 (scroll) and the target (element centered in viewport), making it distinct from siblings like browser_scroll which scrolls by offset.

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 such as browser_scroll or browser_focus. The description does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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