get_page_info

Read-only

Fetch the connected tab's URL and title even when the page is unresponsive, so AI coding agents can identify the active web app.

Instructions

Get the URL and title of the currently connected tab, as { url, title }. Still answers while the page is not responding.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds a genuinely non-obvious behavioral fact — that it responds even when the page is unresponsive — which is exactly the kind of context annotations cannot carry.

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 short sentences, front-loaded with what is returned, with the caveat about unresponsive pages appended. No filler.

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?

A trivial no-arg read with annotations and an output schema, so almost nothing needs saying. The only minor omission is what happens if no tab is connected (error vs. empty result), which an agent might want to know before calling.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline applies. The stated return shape is a small bonus, though an output schema already exists.

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?

Specific verb and resource ("Get the URL and title of the currently connected tab") plus the exact return shape `{ url, title }`. It implicitly distinguishes itself from list_tabs/switch_tab by scoping to the already-connected tab, but never names those siblings explicitly.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is only implied: the resilience note ("still answers while the page is not responding") hints at when it is preferable to evaluate_js or get_html, but the description never states when to use this instead of list_tabs or switch_tab, nor any preconditions.

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