RokuHarness MCP Server

by miabilabs

create_webdriver_session

Starts a new Roku WebDriver session for automated testing. Call this first to connect to your Roku device via IP before running other commands.

Instructions

Create a new Roku WebDriver session. This must be called before any other commands. Requires the Roku WebDriver server to be running.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
appNoOptional: App ID or path to sideload. Use "dev" for sideloaded channel.dev
roku_ipYesIP address of the Roku device
webdriver_urlNoURL of the Roku WebDriver server (e.g., http://localhost:9000)http://localhost:9000
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that a session is created and requires the server to be running, and it notes the ordering constraint. However, it does not describe what the session represents, whether it is destructive, idempotent, or what happens on failure. This leaves gaps in understanding the operational impact.

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 concise and front-loaded: the first sentence states the action, and the second adds usage guidance and prerequisites. Every word earns its place, with no redundant content.

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?

The tool is simple, but there is no output schema, so the description would need to explain the return value or session behavior. It does not mention what the session returns or how it is referenced later, though it implies it is needed for subsequent commands. This gap prevents a higher score.

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 all parameters are already well-documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, so the baseline score of 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 the tool's function with a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('Roku WebDriver session'). It also distinguishes this tool from siblings by noting it must be called before any other commands, making its role as the session initializer explicit.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: it must be called before any other commands. It also states the prerequisite that the Roku WebDriver server must be running, which is essential context. There are no alternative tools for this purpose, so exclusions are unnecessary.

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