screenshot

Capture full-page PNG screenshots of Electron app windows for AI agents. Control filenames and capture settings to document application states.

Instructions

Capture a full-page PNG of the current window. Returns the absolute path. Pass name to control the filename (without extension).

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions that it 'Returns the absolute path' and allows filename control, which adds useful context about output and input behavior. However, it does not cover potential side effects, error conditions, or performance implications, leaving gaps in behavioral understanding.

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 highly concise and front-loaded, with two sentences that efficiently convey the tool's purpose, output, and key parameter usage. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy or unnecessary details.

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 the tool's moderate complexity (2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but incomplete. It covers the basic functionality and output but lacks details on error handling, file storage location, or interaction with sibling tools. For a tool with no annotations, it should provide more behavioral context to be fully complete.

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%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('name' and 'fullPage'). The description adds marginal value by explaining that 'name' controls the filename without extension, but does not provide additional semantics beyond what the schema offers. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles most of the parameter documentation.

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 the specific action ('Capture a full-page PNG') and resource ('current window'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'snapshot' or 'accessibility_snapshot' by specifying the output format and scope. It explicitly mentions what the tool does without being vague or tautological.

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 implies usage for capturing full-page screenshots in PNG format, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'snapshot' or other sibling tools. It provides clear context for its purpose but lacks explicit exclusions or named alternatives.

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