Click

browser_click
Destructive

Click page controls with synthetic DOM clicks to submit forms or trigger actions, requiring a claim and fresh observation.

Instructions

Click a control with a synthetic DOM click (not a trusted user click). Clicking can submit forms or trigger real actions. Needs the claim and a fresh observation.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
refYesShort ref such as e3 from that snapshot.
context_idYesContext id from browser_contexts, for example tab:12.
request_idNoStable id for this logical action. Reuse the SAME id to retry or reconcile it; never reuse it for a different action. Omit to have one generated and returned.
observation_idYesobservation_id from the browser_snapshot that produced ref.
browser_instance_idNoOnly needed when several Firefox profiles are connected.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the risk profile is known. The description adds real context beyond that: the click is synthetic (untrusted), and it may submit forms or trigger consequential real actions, plus the fresh-observation prerequisite. It does not discuss failure/stale-ref behavior.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and its nature, then consequences, then prerequisites. No filler, though the undefined term 'the claim' introduces mild ambiguity for such a terse note.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a five-parameter mutation tool with no output schema, the description covers the mechanism, the side-effect risk and the inputs required. Missing only edge-case handling such as stale observation or failed click outcomes, which slightly limits 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%, including the ref pattern, context_id format and request_id retry semantics, so the schema carries the burden. The description only vaguely gestures at 'the claim' and 'a fresh observation' without mapping them to context_id/observation_id or clarifying what 'claim' refers to.

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?

States a specific verb (click) and target (a control), and immediately qualifies the mechanism as a synthetic DOM click rather than a trusted user click. That distinction separates it from sibling interaction tools like browser_fill, browser_type and browser_key, which target inputs and keys rather than arbitrary controls.

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?

It gives a precondition ('Needs the claim and a fresh observation'), which tells the agent it must hold a valid claim and a snapshot-derived ref before calling. It never states when to prefer this over browser_fill or browser_key, nor what to do when the observation is stale, so usage is only implied.

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