navigation_go_to_url

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral disclosure burden. It explains the profile_id prerequisite and ID locality, but does not state whether navigation waits for page load, what happens on invalid tabs or URLs, whether permissions are required, or other navigation-specific behavior.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core action and followed by the critical prerequisite in two tight sentences. There is no filler or redundancy.

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?

For a three-parameter navigation tool with an output schema, the description covers the essential profile scoping and retrieval requirement. It could more explicitly say where tab_id comes from and describe navigation behavior, but it is adequate overall.

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 coverage is 67%, with profile_id lacking a schema description. The description compensates well by explaining that profile_id must come from profiles_list and that all object IDs are local to that profile and must not be reused in another profile.

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 states a specific verb, resource, and scope: navigate to a URL in a tab. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling navigation actions such as navigation_back, navigation_forward, and navigation_reload.

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?

It provides a clear prerequisite: profile_id must be obtained from profiles_list. It also warns that all object IDs are local to a profile and must not be reused elsewhere, though it does not explicitly compare this tool against navigation_back/forward/reload alternatives.

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