Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'navigate' tool. It uses Puppeteer to navigate the browser page to the provided URL and returns a success message.
    case "navigate":
      await page.goto(args.url, { waitUntil: "domcontentloaded" });
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Navigated to ${args.url}`,
          },
        ],
        isError: false,
      };
  • Input schema for the 'navigate' tool, defining a required 'url' string parameter.
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        url: { type: "string", description: "URL to navigate to" },
      },
      required: ["url"],
    },
  • src/index.ts:21-31 (registration)
    Registration of the 'navigate' tool in the TOOLS array, including name, description, and input schema.
    {
      name: "navigate",
      description: "Navigate to any URL in the browser",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          url: { type: "string", description: "URL to navigate to" },
        },
        required: ["url"],
      },
    },
Behavior2/5

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 states the action but doesn't cover critical aspects like whether this opens a new tab/window, handles redirects, requires page load completion, or has side effects (e.g., clearing data). This leaves significant gaps for a browser navigation tool.

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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded and wastes no space, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a browser navigation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavior (e.g., success/failure handling, timeouts), doesn't explain what 'navigate' entails operationally, and omits context about the browser state. This is inadequate given the tool's potential complexity.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'url' parameter clearly documented. The description adds no additional semantic context beyond implying navigation to 'any URL', which aligns with but doesn't enhance the schema. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('navigate') and target ('any URL in the browser'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'reload' or 'search_html', which also involve browser navigation actions, so it misses the top score.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 'reload' for refreshing the current page or 'search_html' for finding content. There's no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual usage, leaving the agent with minimal direction.

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