Destructive

Click elements on a web page using a target reference or CSS selector, with options for button type, modifier keys, and double-click.

Instructions

Perform click on a web page

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
buttonNoButton to click, defaults to left
targetYesExact target element reference from the page snapshot, or a unique element selector
elementNoHuman-readable element description used to obtain permission to interact with the element
modifiersNoModifier keys to press
doubleClickNoWhether to perform a double click instead of a single click
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, but the description adds no further behavioral context. It does not say whether the click can trigger navigation, whether permission is required beyond the 'element' parameter, or what side effects might occur.

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 short sentence with no redundancy or fluff. It is maximally concise and front-loaded.

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?

Given the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and potentially destructive behaviors, the description is too sparse. It fails to mention important context like using a snapshot for target selection or the need for user permissions, making the tool under-described for its complexity.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is adequately described in the schema. The description itself adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, hence the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 'Perform click on a web page' clearly states a specific action (click) on a resource (web page), which is unambiguous. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like browser_evaluate or browser_run_code_unsafe that could also simulate clicks, so it lacks explicit sibling differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention the need for a page snapshot to obtain target references, nor does it clarify when a click is appropriate compared to other interaction tools.

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