chrome_setup_check

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

No annotations provided; description carries burden. It mentions 'reports whether Google Chrome is ready' but does not define 'ready', conditions, or side effects. Acceptable for a simple check but lacks detail.

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?

Very concise but ends with an ellipsis (...), making it incomplete. Could be structured as a full sentence without trailing punctuation.

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?

Tool is trivial (no params, no output schema). Description does not specify return type (e.g., boolean, status string). Adequate but could mention output format.

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?

No parameters (0), schema coverage 100%. Baseline score 4 applies; description adds no param info because none exist.

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 clearly states it reports Chrome readiness for interactive tools, listing specific sibling tools (chrome_click, chrome_type, chrome_evaluate_js) that depend on it, distinguishing it from Safari's equivalent.

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?

It implicitly indicates use before interactive Chrome tools. No explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use, but the context of sibling tools makes usage clear.

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