Clicks a numbered element from the last page read in Google Search Console, letting AI agents navigate the signed-in interface without manually locating elements.

Instructions

Click a numbered element on the current Google Search Console page.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations supplied, the description carries the full disclosure burden, and it discloses almost no behavior. It does not say whether clicking navigates away, mutates page state, invalidates the previously returned element numbering, or what happens if the number is out of range — all critical for an agent deciding whether a click is safe or recoverable.

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?

One short sentence with the action and target front-loaded and no filler. It is efficient, though the brevity comes partly at the cost of the behavioral detail noted above.

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?

For a simple one-parameter interaction tool this is close to adequate, especially with no output schema to explain. However, an agent still lacks the key operational fact that the element number must come from a prior read and that page state may change after the click, which is exactly the context a click tool needs.

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?

There is a single parameter with full schema coverage, and the schema description ('Element number from the last read') already explains it well. The tool description's phrase 'numbered element' is consistent with that but adds no new meaning such as range validity, whether numbering resets after each action, or behavior for stale indices.

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 states a concrete verb plus resource: clicking a numbered element on the current Google Search Console page. It implicitly separates itself from google_search_console_type (which enters text) and from google_search_console_read (which produces the numbering), but it never names those siblings, so differentiation is inferred rather than stated.

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: 'numbered element' and 'current page' hint that a page must already be open and read first. There is no explicit when-to-use versus google_search_console_type, no statement that google_search_console_read must precede it, and no guidance on invalid or stale element numbers.

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