click

Click or tap a UI element on real devices using a reference, selector, or coordinate point. Supports mobile, desktop, and TV platforms.

Instructions

Click or tap a semantic UI target by ref, selector, or point.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It fails to mention error handling, permissions, side effects, or what happens when the target is not found. The minimal description does not aid the agent in understanding tool behavior beyond the basic action.

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, clear sentence that efficiently conveys the core purpose. While brief, it avoids unnecessary detail and is well-structured for quick comprehension.

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?

Given 26 parameters (including device selection, timing, etc.) and no output schema, the description is far too minimal. It does not explain tool behavior, return values, or how the many parameters affect the action. The agent lacks crucial context 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description repeats the target parameter's options (ref, selector, point), but adds no additional semantic context beyond what the schema already provides for other parameters. It meets the minimum bar.

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/tap action on a UI target, specifying three targeting methods (ref, selector, point). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'press' or 'longpress', which may cause confusion.

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 (e.g., 'press', 'longpress'), or any prerequisites or conditions for use. The description only states what it does without context for selection.

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