browser_type

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds a genuinely useful behavioral detail beyond the annotations: content is appended by default rather than replaced, unless clear_first is set. It omits event/focus behavior, but that is a reasonable gap given annotation coverage.

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 short, front-loaded sentences with no filler. The primary action comes first and the key behavioral caveat second, so every sentence earns its place.

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 simple typing tool with full schema coverage and annotations covering the safety profile, the description is largely sufficient and no output schema means return values need no explanation. Minor gaps around focus/wait behavior remain but are not critical to correct invocation.

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 all four parameters, which sets the baseline at 3. The description reinforces the clear_first parameter by explaining the default append behavior, but adds no format, syntax, or edge-case detail beyond the schema.

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 and resource ('Type text into an input element'), making the core action immediately clear. It also implicitly differentiates from the sibling browser_fill by describing append semantics, but it never names that sibling or explicitly contrasts the two, so it stops short of a 5.

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?

Usage is only implied: the note about appending unless clear_first is set hints at when this tool is appropriate versus a value-setting tool. There is no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or named alternative, leaving the agent to infer the choice between browser_type and browser_fill.

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