Long-press + screenshot + ask

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. It transparently lists the operation sequence and references default waitMs/durationMs defaults in the schema. However, it does not disclose side effects of long-pressing (e.g., opening context menus or triggering navigation), what the 'ask' returns or to whom, or any required permissions.

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?

A single sentence that front-loads the core action and includes the full workflow without filler. Every element 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?

With 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description leaves important gaps: the return/response behavior is ambiguous ('ask a short question about the result'), coordinate system is unspecified, and side effects are not mentioned. An agent would need additional implicit knowledge to call this tool confidently.

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 descriptions only cover waitMs and durationMs (40% coverage). The description helps by framing x and y as long-press coordinates and question as a short question about the result. Still, it does not specify coordinate units/origin or any constraints on the question, so it only partially compensates for the schema gaps.

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?

States a specific action sequence: long-press at (x, y) for durationMs, wait, screenshot, and ask a question. The long-press gesture clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like tap_and_ask, swipe_and_ask, and screenshot_ask, even without naming them explicitly.

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?

The description implies the use case: perform a long-press and inspect the resulting screen via a screenshot and question. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over tap_and_ask, swipe_and_ask, or other siblings, nor does it mention any exclusions.

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