get_ui_tree

Retrieve the accessibility tree of a mobile screen, listing visible elements with type, text, and position. Each element includes an index for direct tapping.

Instructions

Retourne l'arbre d'accessibilité de l'écran — tous les éléments visibles avec type, texte, position. Fonctionne sur iOS et Android. Chaque élément a un index [N] utilisable avec tap.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

Behavior4/5

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

Describes the output (visible elements with type, text, position, index) and cross-platform support. No annotations exist, but the description adequately covers the read-only nature and typical usage.

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?

Three concise sentences with no extraneous content. Each sentence serves a purpose: what it returns, platform support, and usage of indices.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Without an output schema, the description sufficiently explains the return values. For a simple query tool with no inputs, the description is complete and actionable.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters; schema coverage is 100% vacuously. Description adds no param info, which is acceptable since none exist. Baseline of 4 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?

Clearly states the tool returns the accessibility tree, listing visible elements with type, text, and position. Distinguishes from sibling tools like accessibility_audit and action tools.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like assert_visible or wait_for_element. Usage is implied but not contrasted with siblings.

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