Click

aethyn_click

Click a webpage element identified by a snapshot reference or CSS/Playwright selector, enabling precise browser automation.

Instructions

Click an element. Prefer a 'ref' from aethyn_snapshot (e.g. 'e12'); or pass a 'selector' (CSS, or Playwright role=/text= engine).

Input Schema

session_idYes
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Click an element' with no mention of side effects, error handling, waiting behavior, or actionability requirements.

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 sentences, front-loaded with purpose. No redundant words, efficient structure.

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 click tool given sibling context, but lacks info on return value or error behavior (e.g., if element not found). No output schema, so more detail would be beneficial.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Adds meaning beyond schema: explains priority of ref over selector, and details selector engine syntax. Schema description coverage is 67%, and description compensates with practical guidance.

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?

Description clearly states the action ('Click an element') and specifies the two ways to identify the target (ref or selector). Distinguishes from sibling tools like aethyn_type or aethyn_navigate.

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 prefers 'ref' over 'selector' and details selector syntax (CSS, role=, text=). Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but provides clear guidance.

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