Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| simscale_edge_startA | Open SimScale in a persistent Microsoft Edge profile. Log in manually if needed. |
| simscale_edge_statusA | Check whether Edge is running and whether the current SimScale page appears signed in. |
| simscale_page_stateA | Read the current SimScale page's headings, notices, and visible interactive controls without exposing passwords or cookies. |
| simscale_navigateA | Navigate Edge to an HTTPS SimScale URL. Other domains are blocked. |
| simscale_clickA | Click one unique visible SimScale control using its role, label, text, or test ID. Mutating or compute-related labels require confirm_action=true. |

Scored across 13 tools
Each tool targets a distinct browser automation concern: lifecycle (start/status/close), page reading (page_state, screenshot), navigation, and user interactions (press, click, fill, select, upload, download). The descriptions clearly separate state inspection from content inspection and from mutating actions.
All tools share the simscale_ prefix and mostly use verb-first naming (start, navigate, click, fill, select, upload, download). Minor deviation: three tools include 'edge' in the middle (simscale_edge_start/status/close) while the rest do not, and page_state is noun-based, but the pattern remains predictable.
Thirteen tools is a well-scoped set for a browser automation server. Each tool covers a necessary step in interacting with a web application, without redundancy or bloat.
The tool surface covers the full cycle: start, authenticate/check, navigate, inspect, interact, upload, wait, download, and close. Minor gaps like scrolling or hovering are absent but not critical for typical SimScale workflows, and the wait_for_text covers status transitions.
