browser_handle_dialog

Accept or dismiss browser dialogs like alerts, confirms, and prompts. Provide text for prompt dialogs when accepting.

Instructions

Handle a JavaScript dialog (alert, confirm, prompt). Dialogs are queued as they appear. This tool handles the most recent unhandled dialog.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
acceptYesWhether to accept the dialog (true) or dismiss it (false)
promptTextNoText to enter for prompt dialogs
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description adds queuing context but does not disclose error handling (e.g., no dialog present) or behavior when promptText is used on non-prompt dialogs.

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 cover purpose, queuing, and which dialog is handled, with no redundant information.

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 no output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's behavior for its simple function, though it could mention error states or return value.

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 both parameters; the tool description adds minimal extra meaning beyond stating promptText is for prompt dialogs, which 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 handles JavaScript dialogs (alert, confirm, prompt) and specifies queuing behavior, distinguishing it from all other browser tools.

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 indicates when to use (when a dialog appears) and mentions the queuing order, but could be more explicit about when not to use or prerequisites.

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