Bypass insecure-connection warning

bypass_insecure_warning

Bypass SSL certificate warning pages by clicking Advanced and Proceed, allowing navigation to continue to sites with expired or self-signed certificates.

Instructions

Click through Chrome's "Your connection is not private" interstitial.

Use this when a navigation lands on an SSL/certificate warning page (expired or self-signed certificate, hostname mismatch) instead of the site itself — the snapshot then shows a warning page rather than the expected content. This performs the Advanced -> Proceed click for you.

Has no effect on any other kind of page.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations provide no behavioral detail beyond flags. The description explains the mechanism (performs the Advanced -> Proceed click) and its limitation (no effect on other pages). It adds value over the annotations but does not mention potential side effects like actually navigating to an insecure page or any security implications, which would strengthen transparency.

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?

The description is concise (~100 words) and well-structured: it opens with the action, then provides context, the mechanism, and a caveat. There is no fluff or redundancy; every sentence earns its place.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a simple tool with one optional parameter and no required inputs, the description covers when to use it, what it does, and its non-effect. The existence of an output schema (even if not detailed here) means return values are not required to be explained. The description is complete for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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?

The schema description covers 100% of the parameter, fully explaining the 'browser' parameter including its default and concurrency implications. The tool description itself adds no parameter information, which is acceptable given the schema's thoroughness. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description clearly states the specific action ('Click through Chrome's Your connection is not private interstitial') and identifies the resource (the warning page). It distinguishes itself from sibling navigation tools by focusing exclusively on the SSL/certificate interstitial.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It explicitly tells when to use it: when a navigation lands on an SSL/certificate warning page instead of the site. It also specifies exclusions ('Has no effect on any other kind of page') and explains the symptom (snapshot shows warning page). This provides clear when-to and when-not-to guidance.

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