  • Latest release: v1.1.3

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: click, hover, select, type, scroll are all different interactions; navigate, open, close, refresh, window manage tabs/navigation; read, inspect, screenshot extract data; execute runs JS; wait adds synchronization. No overlapping tools.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names are single lowercase words, predominantly verbs (click, navigate, type) with 'screenshot' as a slight exception but still consistent in style. No mixing of conventions.

    Tool Count4/5

    17 tools is slightly above the ideal range of 3-15, but the set covers a wide range of browser actions without feeling bloated. Each tool serves a distinct need in web automation.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers navigation, element interaction, information retrieval, execution, and basic synchronization. Missing advanced features like file upload or alert handling, but core workflows for browsing and testing are well-supported.

  • Average 3.6/5 across 17 of 17 tools scored. Lowest: 2.6/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior2/5

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

    Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true, but the description adds no behavioral context (e.g., what happens when closing a tab, whether actions are reversible, or permission requirements). Since annotations already carry the safety signal, the description provides no extra value, scoring below the baseline.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise, consisting of a single phrase. While it wastes no words, it is so minimal that it sacrifices informativeness. It could be expanded slightly without losing conciseness, but for its length it is appropriately sized.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Despite having an output schema, the description does not reference return values. The tool supports multiple actions with different parameter requirements, but the description offers no complete picture of when each action is appropriate. It is too sparse to be fully useful.

    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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema; it merely repeats the concept of tab management. No extra context for parameters like index or url is provided.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose3/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description 'Manage browser window tabs' is overly generic. It implies tab operations but does not specify which actions (close, list, open, switch) are supported, which are defined in the input schema. This weakens clarity and differentiation from sibling tools like 'open' and 'close' which might refer to other contexts.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not advise when to use this tool over alternatives like 'open' (which might open a URL in the current tab) or 'close' (which might close a dialog). There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    Annotations already indicate destructive nature, non-idempotence, and open world interaction. The description adds no further behavioral context, such as whether clicks trigger navigation, require DOM readiness, or any side effects.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise (one phrase) with no wasted words. However, it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    With 6 parameters and no output schema, the description omits critical context about different click modes (selector, text, coordinates, key), the 'wait' parameter, and expected outcomes. It is insufficient for correct invocation.

    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 covers all 6 parameters with descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it merely restates the action.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose4/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the tool performs a click action on the browser window, distinguishing it from siblings like hover or type. However, it fails to mention that the tool can also press keys via the 'key' parameter, which is an unexpected secondary use.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like hover, select, or type. The description does not specify scenarios, prerequisites, or when not to use it.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the description adds no extra behavioral context. It does not mention potential side effects like losing unsaved form data or triggering re-execution of scripts, which would be useful.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single, direct sentence. It is front-loaded and contains no superfluous information. However, it could be slightly expanded to include context about parameters without losing conciseness.

    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?

    For a simple action with two optional parameters and an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It does not explain what happens after refresh (e.g., returns page content or success status), but the output schema may cover that. Lacks integration with sibling tools.

    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 coverage is 100%, and the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's own descriptions for 'hard' and 'selector'. The tool description merely repeats the action without clarifying parameter choices.

    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 verb 'Refresh' and the resource 'the current browser page', making the action unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'navigate' (which goes to a new URL) and 'open' (which opens a new page).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'navigate' or 'reload' (if such existed). It does not specify prerequisites or conditions under which a refresh is appropriate (e.g., after form submission or state changes).

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false, so the description's statement about typing aligns. However, it does not add context beyond annotations; for example, it doesn't mention that submit=true may cause navigation or that append behavior differs.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single concise sentence (7 words) that is easily parsable. It is front-loaded with the key action. However, it is perhaps too terse and could include more detail without losing conciseness.

    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?

    The description is minimal but the schema covers all parameters comprehensively. Given the complexity (4 params, no output schema) and sibling tools, the description does not fully contextualize when this tool is appropriate, limiting completeness.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage for all parameters (text, selector, append, submit). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 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 'Type text into a page input field', which is a specific verb+resource combination. It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like click, hover, or select, all of which perform different actions on the page.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when to prefer type over select or paste, nor does it indicate any prerequisites or context (e.g., that the input must be focused or visible).

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already declare destructiveHint: true, idempotentHint: false, and openWorldHint: true, indicating the tool can be destructive and have side effects. The description does not add further behavioral context beyond what's in annotations.

    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 a single, short sentence that is concise and to the point, with no wasted words.

    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?

    While the tool has a simple interface with one parameter and annotations, the description could benefit from additional context about the scope of execution (e.g., page context, potential risks) given the destructive hint. It is minimally adequate.

    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 only parameter 'script' is described as 'JavaScript code to execute' in the schema, which is clear. Schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema.

    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 'Execute JavaScript in the browser context' clearly specifies the verb 'execute' and the resource 'JavaScript in the browser context', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'click' or 'type' which are for specific UI actions.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any warnings about when not to use it. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or limitations.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds no further behavioral details (e.g., what happens to the page or element). It does not contradict annotations.

    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 a single sentence with no wasted words. It is efficient and front-loaded with the key action and resource.

    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?

    Given the existence of an output schema and annotations, the description is minimally adequate but lacks explanation of what 'inspect' returns (e.g., element properties). It does not cover usage context.

    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 description coverage is 100%, so the parameters are already well-documented. The description adds no extra meaning beyond stating 'by CSS selector', which matches the required 'selector' parameter.

    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 verb 'inspect', resource 'page element', and method 'by CSS selector'. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'click' or 'hover'.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'read' or 'hover'. It does not mention prerequisites or context.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already declare the tool as read-only and idempotent, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds the capture modes but does not disclose potential side effects (none expected) or other behavioral traits like file size limits or performance impact.

    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?

    Single sentence with no wasted words. The verb 'Capture' is front-loaded, and the rest specifies the target areas concisely.

    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?

    Given 5 optional parameters and no output schema, the description provides basic coverage but misses details like the return format (base64 or file path based on share parameter). It is adequate but not thorough.

    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?

    Input schema has 100% parameter descriptions, so the description adds no extra semantic value beyond listing mode options. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

    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 tool captures screenshots of various areas (window, element, page, screen), which directly matches the input schema's mode enum. It is distinct from sibling tools like click or navigate, which have entirely different purposes.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus other tools. The description does not mention prerequisites, scenarios where alternative tools might be better, or when not to use it.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already declare destructiveHint false and idempotentHint false. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond stating the two scrolling modes (page and pixel). With annotations carrying some burden, the description is adequate but not richly informative.

    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 a single sentence with 13 words, front-loading the core action and options. There is no wasted text; every word contributes to understanding.

    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?

    Given the existence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. However, it does not specify which element is scrolled (main viewport vs. a specific container), which is a notable omission for a scrolling tool.

    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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema itself documents all three parameters. The description merely reiterates the two scrolling methods, adding no new meaning beyond what is already in the schema.

    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 tool scrolls to a specific viewport page or by direction with pixel amount. It uses specific verbs and resources, and it distinguishes scroll from sibling tools like navigate, which deals with URLs, and click/hover, which are element interactions.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it or provide context for choosing scroll over other methods like execute for programmatic scrolling.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    The description is consistent with the 'destructiveHint' annotation (mutation) but adds no additional behavioral details beyond what the annotation already conveys.

    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?

    Single short sentence that is front-loaded and efficient, with no wasted words.

    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?

    Lacks mention of side effects or state changes (e.g., triggering events), but for a simple selection tool it is minimally adequate.

    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 coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a clear description. The tool description adds no extra semantics beyond the schema.

    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 action ('choose') and the target resource ('<select> element'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'click' or 'type'.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'click' or 'type', nor any mention of prerequisites or restrictions.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true. Description adds that it uses the browser's default search engine, which implies results may vary. However, it doesn't specify whether a new tab opens, or how results are returned (despite existence of output schema). Adds modest value beyond annotations.

    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?

    Single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. Information is front-loaded and efficiently communicates the tool's 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?

    Given the tool's simplicity (1 param, output schema present), the description is largely sufficient. Could briefly mention what the output represents (e.g., search results), but output schema likely covers that. Still, a complete agent would have enough context.

    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?

    Only one parameter 'text' with schema description 'Search query' (100% coverage). Description does not add any additional meaning or formatting/constraint info beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 applies.

    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 ('Search'), the resource ('the web'), and the mechanism ('using browser's default search engine'). This is a specific verb+resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'navigate' (goes to a URL) and 'read' (reads current page).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    Description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'navigate' for direct URLs, 'read' for page content). No exclusion criteria or contextual hints are given beyond the basic purpose.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations indicate no destructive or idempotent behavior. The description adds context about navigating back/forward in history, but does not disclose behavioral details like page load waiting or parameter interaction effects.

    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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words, efficiently conveying the tool's purpose.

    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?

    With full schema coverage, output schema, and annotations present, the description covers main actions but lacks details on parameter interactions (e.g., when both url and direction are provided) and edge cases.

    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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The description mentions 'back/forward' aligning with the direction enum but does not clarify relationships like mutual exclusivity of url and direction.

    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 tool navigates to a URL or through browser history (back/forward), using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes between two distinct modes and helps differentiate from the sibling 'open' tool.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage for both URL navigation and history navigation but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'open' or 'refresh', nor when not to use it.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already provide destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond stating the action, so it meets the baseline but does not exceed it.

    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 a single sentence with no fluff. It is front-loaded and every word is essential.

    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 parameterless tool with an output schema, the description is sufficient. It fully captures the tool's functionality.

    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?

    No parameters exist, so the description does not need to explain them. The baseline score of 4 applies.

    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 'Close the working tab' clearly states the verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'navigate' or 'refresh'. No ambiguity.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'wait' or 'scroll'). The description only states what it does, not when it is appropriate.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already indicate idempotence and non-destructiveness. The description adds the behavioral context of revealing hover-triggered UI, which goes beyond annotations. However, it does not detail edge cases like missing elements or potential page changes.

    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?

    A single sentence that fully conveys the tool's purpose without any filler. Front-loaded and efficient.

    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?

    Given the tool's simplicity, no output schema, and rich sibling context, the description is adequately complete. It covers the core action, though it could mention that it performs a mouse hover event on the first matching element.

    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 coverage is 100% with both parameters described. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema provides, so 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 action (hover) and the target (element) and hints at the purpose (reveal hover-triggered UI). It distinguishes from siblings like click or inspect.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage for triggering hover effects, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions or prerequisites.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=false, so the tool is safe. The description adds minimal behavior beyond that, not stating whether the tab becomes active or if previous tabs are affected. With annotations present, a 3 is reasonable as it provides no additional behavioral context.

    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?

    Single sentence, no wasted words. It is front-loaded and immediately clear.

    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?

    Given zero parameters and an output schema, the description is sufficient. It could mention whether the new tab becomes the active target, but the current text is adequate for a simple tool.

    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?

    No parameters exist, and schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter detail; baseline 4 applies as it does not mislead.

    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 'Open a blank tab as the working target', specifying the verb (Open), resource (blank tab), and intended effect (working target). This distinctively separates it from siblings like 'navigate' (which opens a URL) or 'click'.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'navigate' or 'window'. The context of sibling tools implies it's for new tabs, but the description lacks when-not-to-use advice.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and idempotent. The description adds behavioral context by specifying wait conditions (appearance, disappearance, text). It does not contradict annotations and provides moderate additional insight, though it omits details like polling behavior or timeout defaults.

    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 a single sentence with no extraneous information. It packs the core functionality efficiently, making it easy to parse.

    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?

    Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers the main wait conditions. An output schema exists (though not shown), so return value explanation is not needed. However, the timeoutMs parameter behavior is not mentioned, leaving a minor gap.

    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 input schema already provides full descriptions for all four parameters (100% coverage). The description adds value by linking parameters to their behavioral roles (e.g., 'selector' for appearance), but this is incremental beyond schema descriptions. 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 action ('Wait') and the conditions (appear, disappear, text appear) with specific resources (selector, text). It distinguishes the tool from sibling tools that perform other actions like clicking or navigating.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage for waiting on elements or text but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor when not to use it. No exclusion criteria or alternative tool references are given.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds context on what data is extracted (title, URL, text/links), which is valuable beyond annotations.

    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?

    Single sentence, front-loaded with verb, no waste. Efficient and clear.

    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?

    Tool is simple; description covers purpose. Output schema exists, so return values are documented elsewhere. No gaps evident.

    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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. Description summarizes mode effect but adds no new meaning beyond schema.

    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 states specific verb 'Get' and resources 'page title, URL, and either text content or anchor links', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like click or 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?

    Description implies use for extracting page content, but lacks explicit when-not or alternatives. However, the tool's purpose is clear enough to differentiate from siblings.

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

  • Behavior5/5

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

    Annotations already mark the tool as read-only and idempotent; the description adds specific outputs (tabs and usage guidance), providing full behavioral clarity beyond annotations.

    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?

    A single, well-structured sentence conveys all necessary information without redundancy.

    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?

    Given no parameters and availability of an output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does and what it returns.

    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?

    The tool has no parameters, so the description does not need to explain them. With zero parameters, baseline score is 4.

    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 tool returns 'current Safari tabs' and 'full tool surface with usage guidance', distinguishing it from action-oriented sibling tools like click or 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?

    The description implies this is for querying state rather than performing actions, but does not explicitly state when to use it or provide alternatives.

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