browser_handle_dialog

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden and does reasonably well: it discloses that accepting/dismissing is the effect, that the updated page snapshot is returned, and adds an untrusted-content safety caveat. It omits what happens if no dialog is open (error vs no-op) and whether prompt input is required, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

Three tight sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, followed by behavioral note and safety caveat. No filler and every sentence contributes information.

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the action, the return (updated snapshot), and the key safety framing. It stops short of describing error behavior when no dialog exists or how promptText interacts with accept=false, but it is otherwise adequate for a 4-param tool.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents 'accept' (true=OK/false=Cancel), 'snapshot', 'promptText', and 'screenshot' clearly. The description adds no syntax or conditional detail beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb pair (accept or dismiss) plus the exact resource class (alert/confirm/prompt dialog), which cleanly differentiates it from generic input siblings like browser_press_key and browser_type. An agent can identify the operation immediately.

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 phrase 'the open ... dialog' and 'Actions report when one is open' implies this tool is used only when a dialog is present, giving implied triggering context. However, there is no explicit statement of when-not-to-use or which sibling to reach for otherwise, leaving routing to inference.

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