viewport

Resize the active web viewport to specified dimensions before capturing screenshots, enabling accurate rendering for fixed-layout or 100vh apps. Times out after 90 seconds.

Instructions

Resize the active web viewport before taking snapshots or screenshots. Useful for fixed-layout or 100vh apps where changing the viewport reveals different content. Times out after 90s.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the 90-second timeout and that it targets the active web viewport, but it does not mention whether the resize persists, resets, or affects subsequent commands beyond the implied snapshot/screenshot use.

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?

Three short sentences with no fluff. It front-loads the action and resource, adds a concrete use case, and ends with the timeout note; every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a straightforward resize tool with a rich input schema and an output schema, the description covers what, when, and the timeout. It could be more explicit about prerequisites such as being in a web context, but it is not seriously incomplete.

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 input schema already documents all parameters. The description adds no extra meaning to width, height, or device selectors, keeping this at the baseline.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: "Resize the active web viewport". It also clarifies the intent ("before taking snapshots or screenshots"), which distinguishes it from capture-oriented siblings like screenshot and snapshot.

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?

It provides clear when-to-use guidance: "Useful for fixed-layout or 100vh apps where changing the viewport reveals different content" and implies sequencing before snapshots/screenshots. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, so it stops short of a 5.

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