show_headless_desktop

Switch the live screen to an off-screen desktop for manual tasks like login. Make the headless environment visible and interactive, then revert with hide_headless_desktop.

Instructions

Temporarily switch the live screen to a headless desktop for human interaction.

The entire off-screen desktop (and the apps running on it) becomes interactive and visible, so a person can complete a LOGIN or any manual step. Call hide_headless_desktop to switch back to the normal desktop afterwards.

Args: params (HeadlessDesktopInput): the off-screen desktop name.

Returns: str: JSON {"ok": true, "name": "...", "visible": true, "note": "..."}.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false; description adds that the desktop becomes interactive and visible, and the change is temporary, providing useful behavioral context 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is multi-sentence but each sentence adds value: action, effect, usage guidance, and return format. Well-structured and front-loaded.

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 the single parameter and clear purpose, the description is complete: explains the behavior, when to use, how to revert, and includes the return format. No gaps.

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?

Description says 'the off-screen desktop name' but the schema already provides a description for the name parameter. Schema coverage is reported as 0%, but the description does not add significant 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?

Description clearly states the verb 'Temporarily switch' and the resource 'live screen to a headless desktop', and distinguishes from sibling 'hide_headless_desktop' by explaining the purpose for human interaction.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says when to use (for human interaction like login) and points to the counterpart 'hide_headless_desktop' for switching back, providing clear usage guidance.

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