click

Click a page element using a CSS selector and visually verify the result with an automatic screenshot. Optionally navigate to a URL first or wait after clicking.

Instructions

Click an element by CSS selector. Returns a screenshot after the click so you can visually verify the result. Supports standard CSS selectors. If the page hasn't been navigated yet, provide a URL to navigate first.

urlNoOptional URL to navigate to before clicking
waitAfterNoOptional milliseconds to wait after clicking (for animations/transitions)
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses returning screenshot for visual verification and the need for URL if not navigated. Does not mention potential side effects like navigation or error handling if element not found.

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 front-loaded purpose. Every sentence adds value. No waste.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers main behavior, return value (screenshot), and optional navigation. No output schema, but description adequately explains what to expect. Lacks error handling details but sufficient for a simple tool.

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 has 100% coverage so baseline is 3. The description adds context for 'url' and 'waitAfter' (e.g., 'for animations/transitions'), adding slight value beyond schema.

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 'Click an element by CSS selector' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings like select_option and type_text. Mentions return of screenshot for verification.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides guidance: if page not navigated, provide URL first. Implicitly tells when to use (need to click) and why URL param exists. Lacks explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use cases.

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