hover

Hover over a specified webpage element using its unique identifier, optionally capturing a snapshot of the updated page state.

Instructions

Hover over the provided element

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
uidYesThe uid of an element on the page from the page content snapshot
includeSnapshotNoWhether to include a snapshot in the response. Default is false.
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, but the description does not elaborate on behavioral traits such as whether hover triggers events, waits for effects, or requires specific element states. Descriptions should add context beyond annotations.

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 extremely concise, consisting of a single sentence with no extraneous information. Every word is necessary.

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?

For a simple hover action with no output schema, the description is minimally adequate but could mention follow-up behavior (e.g., snapshot inclusion) or prerequisites (e.g., element visibility).

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 coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes both parameters (uid, includeSnapshot). The description adds no additional meaning beyond 'the provided element', resulting in a baseline score.

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 (hover) and the target (element), distinguishing it from sibling tools like click or drag which involve different interactions.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use hover instead of other interactions, such as when hovering triggers tooltips or popovers. The description lacks context for appropriate use.

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