browser_clear_cookies

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits on its own. It only says 'Clear all cookies' without mentioning that this is destructive, irreversible, affects all cookies in the browser context, or could terminate user sessions. This is a significant gap for a mutation tool.

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?

The description is a single, short sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and easy to parse, achieving maximum clarity with minimal text.

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?

Given that the tool is destructive and there is no output schema or annotation support, the description is too sparse. It does not explain the scope of 'all cookies' (e.g., entire browser vs. current session) or warn about side effects, leaving the agent under-informed for a potentially impactful action.

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?

The single parameter 'sessionId' is already described in the schema as 'Browser session ID', so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional meaning about the parameter, such as whether it scopes the clearing to a particular session, but the schema alone provides sufficient baseline semantics.

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 'Clear all cookies' uses a specific verb ('clear') and a clear resource ('all cookies'), making the tool's purpose immediately obvious. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like browser_set_cookie and browser_get_cookies by focusing on the destructive clearing action.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as browser_set_cookie or browser_get_cookies. There is no mention of scenarios where clearing all cookies is appropriate, nor any exclusions (e.g., not for specific domains).

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