navigate_to_search

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states a navigation action but does not mention whether it requires authentication, whether it replaces the current page, or what side effects occur, leaving significant gaps for an agent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently communicates the core action and the optional query aspect.

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

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

For a simple navigation tool with two optional parameters and no output schema, the description plus schema covers the basic mechanics. However, it lacks usage guidelines and behavioral context that would help an agent choose between this and related scraping or navigation siblings.

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

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so both the 'query' and 'sort' parameters are fully documented in the input schema. The description only mentions the optional query and adds no further meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb ('Navigate') and resource ('Twitter/X search page'), making the tool's basic purpose clear. However, it does not differentiate this tool from siblings like scrape_search_results or navigate_to_timeline, so it falls short of a 5.

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

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

The description implies usage for navigating to the search page, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as scrape_search_results or other navigation tools. The optional query behavior is only covered in the schema, not in the description.

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