browser_console_clear

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It correctly discloses that it clears logs and stops listening, which are the main behavioral traits. No side effects or additional behaviors are needed given the tool's simplicity.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with a reference, which is appropriately concise. It front-loads the action. However, it could be slightly more structured, but it earns its place.

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

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

Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description covers the essential behavior. The reference to browser_docs provides additional context. It is sufficiently complete for an agent to understand the tool's role.

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

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

The tool has no parameters, with 100% schema coverage. Per guidelines, baseline is 4. No further semantic information is required.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool clears all captured console logs and stops listening, which is a specific verb-resource pair. It distinguishes from sibling tools like browser_console_start and browser_console_get by indicating it clears and stops rather than starting or getting.

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

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

The description implies usage after console monitoring is complete, but it does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it provide prerequisites or exclusions. The reference to 'see browser_docs' suggests external documentation, but within the description itself, guidance is minimal.

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