Destructive

Automate drag-and-drop actions between webpage elements using Playwright. Define source and target elements to simulate user interactions programmatically.

Instructions

Perform drag and drop between two elements

Input Schema

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the action itself; does not explain interaction permissions, success/failure states, or whether it simulates real mouse events. With annotations present, this is adequate but not enriched.

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?

A single sentence that is front-loaded and efficient. While more detail could be added, the information is present without unnecessary verbosity.

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?

No output schema, but the tool is a simple action. Without describing return behavior or failure modes, the description is minimally complete for its complexity. Could be improved by noting that the browser must have page 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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, providing clear descriptions for each parameter. The tool description adds no additional value beyond what the schema already offers, meeting the baseline for this dimension.

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 'Perform drag and drop between two elements' uses a specific verb ('drag and drop') and resource ('elements'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like browser_click, browser_drop, and browser_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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of prerequisites such as needing a page snapshot to obtain element references, or when not to use drag and drop.

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