execute_web_test

Automate web test execution by running predefined test steps with Playwright, guided by test case and objective.

Instructions

Execute predefined web test steps using Playwright. Takes a test case and specific steps to execute.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesBase URL of the web application
stepsYesArray of test steps to execute
headlessNoRun browser in headless mode (default: true)
objectiveYesTesting objective
test_caseYesTest case being executed
screenshot_dirNoDirectory to save screenshots (optional)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states it executes steps using Playwright, but does not disclose side effects, failure behavior, authentication needs, or browser visibility (headless mode is in schema but not description).

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?

Two sentences, concise and front-loaded. Every sentence provides core information without unnecessary detail.

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?

Despite having 6 parameters (4 required) and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, error handling, prerequisites, or test execution environment. More context needed for completeness.

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% (all parameters documented). The description adds little beyond schema: it mentions test case and steps but does not elaborate on meaning or usage. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 it executes predefined web test steps using Playwright, specifying the inputs (test case and steps). It distinguishes from sibling tools like execute_api_test and generate_test_code.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like execute_api_test or get_web_test_guidance. The description does not mention exclusions or prerequisites.

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