safari_upload_file

Upload a file to a file input element using a CSS selector and absolute path, bypassing the file dialog by using JavaScript DataTransfer.

Instructions

Upload a file to a element via JavaScript DataTransfer — NO file dialog, NO UI interaction. IMPORTANT: Do NOT click the file input before calling this tool — just provide the selector and file path. If a file dialog is already open, this tool will close it first. NOTE: 'verified 0 files' may appear even on success if the site uses a custom upload handler — check visually with safari_snapshot.

Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description fully discloses the internal mechanism (DataTransfer), lack of UI interaction, auto-closing of dialogs, and potential false 'verified 0 files' messages.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences and a note, front-loaded with critical usage guidance, every sentence serves a purpose.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Lacks explicit return value documentation, but compensates with a real-world caveat about success indicators and suggests visual verification.

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?

Schema covers both parameters with descriptions; the tool description repeats the same info without adding new meaning, meeting baseline but not exceeding.

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?

Clearly states the action 'Upload a file' to a specific element type via JavaScript DataTransfer, distinguishing it from other interaction tools like safari_fill or safari_type_text.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly advises not to click the file input before calling and explains behavior if a dialog is open, but does not mention when not to use or list alternatives.

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