scroll_page

Scroll exactly one viewport page on an Android device. Specify content direction (up, down, left, right) to reveal the next section of the current screen.

Instructions

Scroll exactly one viewport page (native one-page scroll).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
deviceNoADB serial; omit with a single connected device.
directionYes"up" | "down" | "left" | "right" — *content* direction ("down" reveals the content below; the finger swipes up).

No arguments

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that the scroll is exactly one viewport page and native, but does not mention edge cases, whether scrolling beyond content is possible, or failure behavior.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence that is front-loaded and contains no wasted words or repetition of schema details.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity, fully documented parameters, and existing output schema, the description is largely sufficient. It only lacks explicit usage guidance relative to sibling tools.

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 already describes both parameters thoroughly, including direction semantics and device usage. With 100% schema coverage, the description adds little beyond the schema, justifying the baseline score of 3.

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 states a specific action ('Scroll') with a precise resource and scope ('exactly one viewport page'), and clarifies 'native one-page scroll'. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like swipe or scroll_until.

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?

The description implies when to use the tool (when a native, exact one-page scroll is needed) but does not explicitly compare it to alternatives such as swipe or scroll_until, nor provide exclusion criteria.

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