browser_wait_ready

Waits for the current page and accessible descendant frames to reach readyState complete with stable DOM, reporting skipped frames and timeouts; read a fresh snapshot afterward.

Instructions

Wait for readyState=complete and stable DOM markup in the current frame and accessible descendant frames. Report skipped frames and timeouts. Does not guarantee business completion or future AJAX; read a fresh snapshot afterward.

A3.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well: it discloses that skipped frames and timeouts are reported, that it does not guarantee business/AJAX completion, and that a fresh snapshot is needed afterward. It omits whether the wait is blocking or returns a status payload, keeping it short of a 5.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the core behavior, then the reporting behavior, then the caveat. No filler; every sentence adds distinct information.

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

Completeness3/5

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

No output schema exists, and the description does cover the return-relevant behavior (skipped frames, timeouts) plus the key limitation. But for a fully-undocumented 3-parameter tool, the absence of any parameter detail leaves a meaningful gap an agent would hit on first invocation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0% and none of the three parameters (seconds, include_frames, stable_seconds) are named or explained. The phrases "descendant frames" and "stable DOM markup" loosely hint at include_frames and stable_seconds, but units, defaults, and the interaction between timeout and stability window are unstated.

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?

States a precise verb+resource: waits for readyState=complete and stable DOM in the current frame and accessible descendant frames. Clear scope, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like browser_wait_text or browser_snapshot.

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?

Gives an actionable follow-up ("read a fresh snapshot afterward") and boundaries ("does not guarantee business completion or future AJAX"), which frames when the result is insufficient. However, it never says when to choose this over browser_wait_text or browser_snapshot, leaving sibling selection to inference.

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