pause_on_load

Enable debugging from page load by injecting a breakpoint at the first script statement. Reloads the page to capture initial script execution.

Instructions

Enables the debugger and injects a breakpoint at the first statement of any script loaded after reloading the page. Side effects: reloads the current page (destructive of unsaved state). Prerequisites: requires an active Chrome tab. Returns: confirmation of debugger enablement and page reload. Use this to debug script execution from the page load. Alternatives: 'set_breakpoint' for targeting specific scripts/lines, 'pause_on_exceptions' for exception-based pausing.

Behavior5/5

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

Discloses side effects (page reload, destructive of state), prerequisites (active Chrome tab), and return value, fully compensating for missing 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?

Concise and well-structured: function, side effects, prerequisites, return, usage, alternatives—each sentence adds value with no redundancy.

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?

Given no parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, description fully covers purpose, usage, behavior, prerequisites, and alternatives.

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 exist, so baseline is 4. Description adds no parameter-specific detail, but none is needed due to zero parameters.

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?

Description states a specific verb ('enables debugger and injects breakpoint') and resource ('first statement of any script after reload'), distinguishing it from siblings like set_breakpoint and pause_on_exceptions.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly tells when to use ('to debug script execution from page load'), warns of side effects ('reloads page, destructive of unsaved state'), and provides clear alternatives with justifications.

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