Jev Computer Use

by kofanlabs

typesafe-computer-use-windows drives a selected Windows application toward a goal you type in plain English. It reads the target window with local Windows OCR and UI Automation, asks Jev which action comes next, and only asks the MCP host agent for free text or final-screen interpretation when needed.

This KofanLabs fork ports awlevin/typesafe-computer-use to Windows while preserving the original dynamic decision loop. It is not an official TypeSafe product.

Windows quick start

Requirements: Windows 10/11, Python 3.12+, Node.js 20+, and a TypeSafe Jev API key (or a Vercel AI Gateway key with access to Jev).

  1. Download or clone this repository.

  2. Double-click Install-Windows.cmd.

  3. Open 1-Baslat.cmd, choose API anahtarını değiştir, and paste the key into the hidden prompt.

  4. Add the generated mcp-config.json to Codex, Grok, Claude Desktop, or another MCP host, then restart that host.

  5. Ask the host to use Jev Computer Use on a specific open window.

The API key is encrypted with Windows DPAPI and never stored as plaintext. See WINDOWS.md for Turkish usage notes and SECURITY.md for the trust boundary.

Why

Frontier-model computer use is capable and expensive: every step ships a screenshot and waits several seconds for a plan. Most steps do not need a plan. They need one choice from a short list, made quickly and cheaply, with a confidence number you can gate on.

TypeSafe sells exactly that: a decision model that answers a Choice over up to 255 options with a full probability distribution and a calibrated confidence, in a few hundred milliseconds, with free output tokens. This project is a computer-use loop built around it.

Measured on the same screenshot and goal, one decision each:

The honest caveat: the big model read the event dates off the pixels and compared them unaided. The classifier needed the date parsing described below. Every piece of reasoning the frontier model does for free has to be rebuilt here as deterministic state.

Grant your terminal Screen Recording and Accessibility in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Without the first, captures are wallpaper. Without the second, synthetic clicks are silently dropped, and --act refuses to start.

Use

uv run clicker "open the Playground"                 # dry run: one step, prints what it would do
uv run clicker "open the Playground" --act           # drives the machine, up to 100 steps
uv run clicker "log in" --act --steps 20 --delay 3   # longer and slower
uv run clicker-inspect "any goal"                    # 3-2-1, capture, open the annotated screen + payload

Clear the terminal first. It is on screen, so its text is OCR input.

Stopping a live run. Ctrl-C when the terminal has focus, or slam the mouse into the top-left corner of the screen from any app. The loop also stops itself on done or none, on confidence under --min-confidence (0.4), after two consecutive no-ops, or at --steps.

The answer. When the loop stops itself, the writer reads the screen it stopped on and prints the result: the information the goal asked for, or where things stand and the next step when the screen does not hold it. A dry run that would have acted, and an aborted run, print no answer.

How a step works

screencapture ─► Vision OCR ─► merge lines into blocks ─► drop lines echoing the goal
accessibility ─► actionable elements (role, label, frame), pruned to the display,
                 the labelled pressable ones it pruned kept as off-screen controls
                     │
                     └─► one numbered list of items, each carrying its source
                     │
accessibility ─► focused field (role, label, placeholder, value, frame)
AppleScript   ─► frontmost app and pid, active tab URL
clock         ─► local date and time
dates.py      ─► "dated 2026-10-13 (in 27 days)" on any block containing a date,
                 "near a line dated ..." on its neighbours
                     │

        deterministic action ─► wait ─► next step

Items carry where they came from: ocr for a text block, ax for a control the app declared, ax+ocr when both found the same thing. An ax item reads as button 'Share' (top-right) in the criteria, so the classifier can tell a real control from a line of text.

Splitting the decision into three questions keeps screen noise out of the action choice. Every stall found while building this came from two options that meant the same thing. Confidence measures concentration, so overlapping options always read as doubt. Keep the action set mutually exclusive.

OCR cost

Vision is about two thirds of a step, and it charges by the amount of text rather than the number of pixels, so the only real saving is reading less of the screen.

  • Crop. Each step reads the frontmost window with an 8 pt margin, plus the menu bar strip over the same columns, clamped to the display. Text on the desktop and in background windows is noise to the decision. Clipping the strip to the window's width is what makes the crop pay on a full-height window. The cost: the clock and the menu extras to the right of the window go unread. They stay clickable through the accessibility tree.

  • Reuse. The capture is compared with the previous one at 1/8 scale, in 256 px tiles. Unchanged tiles keep the lines they produced last step. The changed tiles are clustered into blobs, sides and corners counting as touching, and each blob becomes a rectangle read on its own. Scattered change is the ordinary case, a clock digit plus one repaint, and one rectangle around both would span the display. Each rectangle grows until no known line straddles its edge, because a crop through a line returns the half it can see; ones that meet after growing merge, and more than four merge by closest pair down to four. Past 60% changed tiles, past 60% of the region in summed rectangle area, or on an app switch or a window move, the whole region is read instead.

The timing line says how much was read, and in how many pieces: ocr 0.31s (22% of screen, 2 rects). A replay (--image) always reads the whole image and never reuses, so an offline repro matches the original run.

Accessibility tree

OCR cannot see an icon. The accessibility tree can, so each step also walks the frontmost process for labelled, on-screen controls. Coverage is uneven, measured on ten apps on one Mac: Finder 100% of on-screen controls labelled, Chrome 88%, Slack 85%, Notion 68%, Spotify 0 (its CEF shell exposes three window buttons and nothing else). Terminals expose the grid as one text area. So AX is a bonus source, never a replacement.

Labels live in AXDescription for web and Electron, AXTitle for AppKit, and a short AXValue otherwise. A decorative image takes the label of the control around it; a list row takes it from a shallow AXStaticText.

Frames lie, so the walk prunes hard:

  • skip any subtree whose real frame misses the display (Notes reports rows 200 screens down, Chrome parks scrolled-out nodes above the viewport)

  • skip any node under 4 pt wide or tall (Chromium clamps scrolled-out web nodes to slivers)

  • skip AXMenu subtrees, which are thousands of zero-sized items behind a closed menu

  • skip nameless AXGroup layout boxes, even pressable ones

  • stop at 4000 nodes or 0.6 s and say so

Walks measured here: Finder 152 controls in 0.08 s, Chrome 172 in 0.59 s. The assistive handshake attributes (AXManualAccessibility, AXEnhancedUserInterface) are unsupported on this macOS, so nothing relies on them.

Off-screen controls

AXPress does not need an element to be visible. Notes selects a row parked thousands of points below the display, Chromium delivers a click to a link it clamped to a 1 px sliver because the page is scrolled past it, and an auto-hidden Dock hands over all 37 of its items from 5 pt below the bottom edge. So the same walk keeps the labelled, pressable nodes it pruned, and offers them as a separate capped list rather than mixing them into the items: nothing on the capture points at them, and a mouse click would land somewhere else entirely.

The list is deduplicated by role and label, drops any label the visible items already carry, and stops at 120 controls, after which those subtrees are pruned as before, so the walk costs what it always did. It is offered only when it is not empty, as a press_offscreen action plus an offscreen question, and the step log counts it next to ax=. A refusal is the end of it: there is no pixel to fall back on, so it reads as a no-op. What a walk finds depends on the app, and the node and time caps bind first on a big tree: Notes and Chrome spend all 4000 nodes on what is already on screen and report nothing hidden.

Action space

key

does

click_item

press the element through the accessibility tree when the item came from it, so the press lands on the control rather than on whatever covers it; a mouse click at the center of the box otherwise, and as the fallback when the press is refused

press_offscreen

AXPress a labelled control the app exposes but does not show, chosen from the off-screen list; offered only when that list is not empty, and a refusal counts as a no-op since there is no pixel to fall back on

use_browser

go to the browser, showing the website the site answer names: none brings it forward on the page already open there, a SITES catalog key opens that URL through AppleScript open location, and other opens a URL the writer proposes

type_text

the writer composes the string; it is set on the focused element through the accessibility tree, with keystrokes as the fallback when the value does not read back, and a TypeSafe Noul then checks the field's value

type_email

fills in $CLICKER_EMAIL the same way; refused unless a text field is focused

Where free text comes from

The classifier never generates text. The writer model runs in three places, each with a small packet and a structured reply:

  • type_text receives the goal, recent actions, the focused field's label and placeholder, and the OCR lines near the field. It returns {fill, text}. Credential fields come back fill: false and nothing is typed. After typing, a Noul scores whether the field now holds a sensible value. Under 0.5 the field is cleared.

  • use_browser with site: other receives the goal and returns {ok, url}. Code rejects anything that is not a clean https URL with a hostname.

  • The answer, once, when the loop stops itself. It receives the goal, every action taken, why the run stopped, the text of the last screen, and the capture itself, because OCR misreads a letter here and there and drops layout. It returns {achieved, answer}, and is told to take the answer from the screen alone. When an action ran after the last capture, the screen is captured again first. This one call uses CLICKER_ANSWER_MODEL, a stronger reader than the per-step writer.

Passwords are never typed. Rely on the browser's password manager or an SSO button the OCR can read.

Run folder

Every run writes runs/<timestamp>/ so a stall can be replayed and fixed offline:

file

contents

run.log, run.json

everything printed; goal, outcome (done, nothing helps, low confidence, stalled, step limit, dry run, aborted, crashed), answer and goal_achieved, seconds, every action, config, and timing (mean and max seconds per phase, with steps_timed)

answer-raw.png

the capture the answer was read from, when an action made the last step's capture stale

step-NNN-raw.png

the capture

step-NNN.png

items numbered in blue, accessibility ones orange, the chosen one red, the focused field green

step-NNN-payload.txt

the exact state and criteria sent to TypeSafe, then every item with source, role, box, click point, confidence, then the off-screen controls

step-NNN-answers.json

every probability the classifier returned, the off-screen controls it was offered, plus timing for that step

Each step also logs what it cost, so a slow phase is obvious:

  timing: capture 0.31s  screenshot 0.28s  app 0.01s  window 0.02s  field 0.01s  url 0.01s  ocr 0.31s (22% of screen)  ax 0.06s  decide 0.21s  act 0.05s  total 0.95s

capture covers the four round trips under it; act is left out when the step did not act.

Replay a saved capture as if it were live, without touching the screen:

uv run clicker "same goal" --image runs/<ts>/step-003-raw.png --app "Google Chrome" --url "https://example.com/"

A Linux port replaces macos.py with xdotool and AT-SPI, and swaps Vision OCR for PaddleOCR or RapidOCR. The tree walk itself takes its children, attributes, and actions as callables, so only those three bindings change. Nothing else knows the platform.

Known limits

  • OCR only sees text, and the accessibility tree only covers apps that publish one. In a terminal, a canvas, or Spotify, an icon-only button reaches neither source.

  • Two identical labels get only a coarse region hint and split the vote.

  • Only the main display is captured.

  • Using the machine during an --act run fights it for focus and the cursor.

  • The site catalog is small on purpose; the writer covers the rest.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
replyYes
requestIdYes

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It adds valuable context by warning that UI contents are untrusted and instructing the agent to inspect the pending packet before responding. However, it does not disclose side effects, validation outcomes, or what happens if the reply does not match the requested schema.

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 short, front-loaded with purpose, and each sentence contributes a distinct instruction. The wording 'writer/URL/answer reply' is awkward, but there is no fluff or redundant expansion.

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?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and five sibling tools, the description provides enough for basic use: it names the action, gives pre-response inspection guidance, and warns about untrusted UI data. It leaves gaps around where requestId comes from, how to access the pending packet, and what exact reply schema to use beyond the generic instruction.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description is expected to compensate. It only refers generically to replying with the exact requested schema and does not explain requestId or the structure/meaning of the reply object. The schema itself provides type information, which prevents a score of 1, but the description adds no meaningful parameter semantics.

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 states a clear verb and resource: it supplies a reply requested by the current host agent. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like typesafe_status or typesafe_run, and the phrase 'writer/URL/answer reply' is awkwardly worded, but the core action is identifiable.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives concrete operational guidance: inspect the pending packet and image before answering, reply only with the exact requested schema, and treat UI contents as untrusted. It does not name explicit alternatives or exclusions, but the context for when and how to use the tool is reasonably clear.

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

typesafe_runB

Run the Windows port of awlevin/typesafe-computer-use. Jev chooses operations and targets. When needs_host is returned, inspect the request and reply with typesafe_respond; the same process resumes. Use only the user-authorized goal. Keep the target window in foreground. The run records screenshots and OCR locally and sends text to Jev.

ParametersJSON Schema

actNo
goalYes

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the run records screenshots and OCR locally and sends text to Jev, a side effect. It also states the 'needs_host' return flow, and the requirement to keep the target window in foreground. It mentions using only the user-authorized goal, which is a safety boundary. It lacks details on whether actions are reversible or if any destructive operations could occur, but the given transparency is above average.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single dense paragraph of five sentences. It front-loads the main purpose and includes key workflow steps, but it lacks bullet points or clear separation of concerns. Some information, like 'Jev chooses operations and targets', could be trimmed or clarified. It is not excessively long, but it could be more scannable.

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?

For a tool with 6 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, this description is incomplete. It explains the high-level workflow (run, receive needs_host, respond) and mentions data recording, but it does not document parameter semantics, expected return values beyond needs_host, error conditions, or timeouts. The agent would need to infer too much from parameter names and defaults.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only indirectly references the 'goal' parameter ('Use only the user-authorized goal'), but provides no explanation of act, delay, steps, windowTitle, or minConfidence. The agent is left to infer their meanings from names and defaults, which is insufficient for a tool with six parameters.

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 clearly states it runs a specific Windows port of a computer-use tool, with a concrete verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning the needs_host handoff to typesafe_respond, making its purpose unambiguous. However, the phrase 'Jev chooses operations and targets' is slightly vague, and it doesn't explicitly contrast with other siblings like typesafe_wait or typesafe_status.

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 it is used to initiate a task and explicitly instructs to reply with typesafe_respond when needs_host is returned. It also gives a safety directive ('Use only the user-authorized goal') and a behavior constraint (keep window foreground). However, it does not state when NOT to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites like checking typesafe_status first.

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

typesafe_statusC

Current native Windows run and pending host request.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'current' state and 'pending' requests, but does not state whether the tool is read-only, non-blocking, or how it behaves when no run or request exists.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The text is very short and front-loaded, but it is a sentence fragment and could be made clearer with minimal addition. It is concise at the expense of clarity.

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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description is the only source of context. It names two status components but does not explain their possible values, response format, or relationship to the sibling tools, leaving an agent with limited ability to invoke and interpret the tool correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The input schema has zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to explain. Per the baseline for zero-parameter tools, this is adequate.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description identifies the resource ('native Windows run', 'pending host request') and implies this is a status snapshot, but it lacks an explicit verb like 'get' or 'return'. It is not a tautology, but it is a vague noun phrase rather than a clear statement of what the tool does.

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 about when to use this tool versus siblings such as typesafe_run, typesafe_wait, or typesafe_stop. The description gives no context for choosing this tool or any exclusions.

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

typesafe_stopA

Stop the current run at its next operation boundary.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals a deferred stop mechanism ('next operation boundary') but does not mention whether the stop is reversible, what state the run enters, or any side effects. This is minimal for a control operation.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It states the action and its key condition efficiently.

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?

For a zero-parameter stop tool, the description is adequate but lacks important context such as idempotency, whether a stopped run can be resumed, and what happens to in-flight operations. These gaps are notable given the absence of annotations and output schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, so the description needs no parameter explanations. The baseline of 4 applies because there is nothing for the description to add beyond what an empty schema already conveys.

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 uses a specific verb ('Stop') and a clear resource ('the current run') with a precise condition ('at its next operation boundary'). It is immediately distinguishable from sibling tools like run, wait, and respond, which involve different actions.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like wait or respond. The condition 'next operation boundary' hints at timing but does not explain contexts or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer when stopping is appropriate.

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

typesafe_waitC

Wait briefly for a host request or run completion.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
secondsNo

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Wait briefly', which doesn't specify whether it blocks, what happens on timeout, side effects, or what the response contains. It's a significant gap for a blocking operation.

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 one sentence with no fluff, which is efficient. However, its brevity comes at the cost of missing key information, so while it's concise, it's not sufficiently informative.

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?

For a simple tool, the description lacks information about return values, blocking behavior, timeouts, and typical usage scenarios. With no annotations and no output schema, the agent has little context to invoke it correctly.

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?

The single parameter 'seconds' is documented in the schema with type, default, min, and max, but the tool description never mentions it. Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description should explain the parameter's purpose, but it doesn't, leaving the agent to guess that the wait duration is controlled by seconds.

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 uses the verb 'Wait' and identifies the resource as 'host request or run completion', which is specific enough to distinguish from siblings like typesafe_run or typesafe_status. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with alternatives, and 'briefly' is vague, but the core action is clear.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings. It doesn't mention prerequisites, conditions, or alternatives. An agent would have to infer that it's used after triggering a run or request.

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

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of disclosing safety. 'List' communicates a read-only operation with no destructive effects, and the purpose is explicit. It does not mention edge cases like no open windows, but for a simple enumeration tool this is adequate.

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?

A single sentence with the action front-loaded and the purpose following immediately. Every word earns its place; there is no filler or redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

The description provides the action, target resource, expected output ('Windows titles'), and the reason to invoke it. With no parameters and a straightforward list output, an agent has enough information to call it correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters and the schema is an empty object with 100% coverage, so there are no parameter semantics for the description to add. The baseline 4 applies because nothing is left undocumented.

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 states a specific verb ('List'), a clear resource ('open Windows titles'), and a purpose ('to select a unique target before running'). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like typesafe_run or typesafe_status.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The phrase 'to select a unique target before running' gives explicit contextual timing: call this before typesafe_run when a target window must be chosen. It stops short of naming alternative tools or saying when not to use it, but the intended use case is clear.

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

Scored across 6 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct role: status checking, window listing, running, waiting, responding, and stopping. No two tools appear to overlap in purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools share the consistent typesafe_ prefix and use uniform lowercase snake_case. The naming pattern typesafe_<action> is predictable across the set.

Tool Count5/5

Six tools is well-scoped for a computer-use automation server, covering the essential control flow without unnecessary additions.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full lifecycle: inspect state, select target, run, wait, respond, and stop. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
