create_browser_session

Create a stateful browser session to maintain cookies and localStorage across multiple scraping calls, ensuring continuity in automated workflows.

Instructions

Create a stateful browser session that persists cookies and localStorage across multiple scrape/workflow calls.

ttl_secondsNoSession TTL in seconds (default 1800, max 7200)
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and discloses the persistence behavior (cookies, localStorage) but omits details like session limits, expiration effects, or reuse behavior.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence with no superfluous words, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separated into purpose and details).

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description fails to mention the return value (e.g., session ID), which is critical for an agent invoking a create tool. No output schema exists to compensate.

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 schema already fully describes the single parameter (ttl_seconds) with its default and max; the description adds no additional semantic value beyond that.

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 clearly states the tool creates a stateful browser session with persistence across calls, distinguishing it from sibling tools focused on scraping or data extraction.

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 usage for maintaining state across calls but lacks explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives or when not to use (e.g., stateless scraping).

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