Available Tools

6 tools
browser_closeA

Close the browser instance

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action without noting side effects like session termination, unsaved data loss, or irreversibility. This is minimal but not misleading.

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 a single sentence that is direct and front-loaded with the verb 'close'. There is no wasted content, making it highly concise.

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?

For a simple close action, the description is adequate, but it could note that it permanently ends the browser session. The lack of behavioral caveats slightly reduces completeness, though no output schema exists to explain return values.

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?

The tool accepts zero parameters, and the input schema confirms an empty object. Since there are no parameters, the description does not need to add parameter details, and the baseline for 0 params is 4.

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?

The description uses a specific verb 'close' and resource 'browser instance', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like browser_init and navigate. It unambiguously states the tool's function.

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 this tool, such as as a cleanup step after automation completes. There is no mention of alternatives, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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

browser_execute_scriptC

Execute JavaScript in the browser context

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
scriptYesJavaScript code to execute

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('Execute JavaScript') but doesn't describe safety implications (e.g., potential for destructive effects, permissions needed), execution context (e.g., runs in page context vs. isolated), or response handling (e.g., returns script results). This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.

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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function with zero wasted words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given no annotations, no output schema, and a mutation tool that executes arbitrary JavaScript, the description is incomplete. It lacks critical context like safety warnings, return value expectations, or dependencies on other tools (e.g., browser_launch). This makes it inadequate for safe and effective use by an AI agent.

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 description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'script' clearly documented in the schema as 'JavaScript code to execute'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as syntax examples or constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 verb ('Execute') and resource ('JavaScript in the browser context'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from potential alternatives like browser automation tools that might also execute scripts, though no direct siblings with overlapping functionality are listed.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., requiring an active browser session from browser_launch), exclusions, or comparisons to sibling tools like browser_navigate for navigation tasks. Usage is implied but not explicitly stated.

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

browser_launchC

Launch a new browser instance

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
headlessNoRun browser in headless mode

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the action but doesn't mention what 'launch' entails (e.g., system resource implications, default configurations, or what happens if an instance already exists). This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.

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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, directly stating the tool's purpose without unnecessary elaboration.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., what 'launch' does operationally), error conditions, or return values, making it inadequate for informed tool selection.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents the single parameter 'headless'. The description adds no additional parameter context beyond what's in the schema, resulting in the baseline score of 3 for adequate but no extra value.

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 ('Launch') and resource ('a new browser instance'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like browser_navigate or browser_execute_script, which prevents a score of 5.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like browser_navigate (for existing instances) or browser_close (for termination). There's no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving usage entirely implicit.

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

browser_navigateC

Navigate to a URL

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesURL to navigate to
waitUntilNoWhen to consider navigation completenetworkidle2

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Navigate to a URL' implies a navigation action but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as whether it opens a new tab, handles redirects, requires an active browser session, or has any side effects like loading dependencies. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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 with a single sentence 'Navigate to a URL', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. It efficiently conveys the core action without unnecessary elaboration, making it easy to parse.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of a navigation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't cover what happens after navigation (e.g., success/failure indicators, page state), prerequisites like needing a launched browser, or how it interacts with sibling tools. This leaves the agent with incomplete context for proper usage.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters (url and waitUntil) with descriptions and enums. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining the impact of waitUntil values on navigation timing. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 'Navigate to a URL' clearly states the action (navigate) and target (URL), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like browser_execute_script or browser_launch, which also involve browser navigation or interaction, so it lacks sibling distinction.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it doesn't specify if this is for initial navigation after launching a browser or if it should be used instead of other navigation-related tools. There's no mention of prerequisites or exclusions.

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

screenshot_captureC

Take a screenshot of the current page

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
formatNoOutput format for the screenshotbase64
fullPageNoCapture full page screenshot
selectorNoCSS selector of element to screenshot

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. While 'Take a screenshot' implies a read operation, it doesn't address important behavioral aspects like whether this requires specific permissions, if it captures only visible content or includes off-screen elements, or what happens with dynamic content. The description lacks behavioral context beyond the basic action.

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 at just 5 words, with zero wasted language. It's front-loaded with the core action and target, making it immediately understandable without unnecessary elaboration.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a screenshot tool with 3 parameters and no annotations or output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what format the screenshot returns (image data, file path, etc.), how it handles different page states, or the relationship between parameters like 'fullPage' and 'selector'. The agent would need to guess about important behavioral aspects.

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?

The description adds no parameter information beyond what's already documented in the schema (which has 100% coverage). The schema fully describes all three parameters with their types, defaults, and enums. The description doesn't provide additional context about parameter interactions or usage scenarios.

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 ('Take a screenshot') and target ('of the current page'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't differentiate from the sibling 'screenshot_viewport' tool, which appears to be a similar screenshot functionality with potentially different scope.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'screenshot_viewport' or other browser tools. There are no explicit when/when-not instructions or references to sibling tools, leaving the agent without contextual usage information.

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

screenshot_viewportC

Take a screenshot with specific viewport settings

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fullPageNoCapture full page screenshot
heightNoCustom viewport height
presetNoViewport preset to use
widthNoCustom viewport width

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the basic action without disclosing behavioral traits. It doesn't mention whether this requires an active browser session, what format the screenshot returns, if there are rate limits, or what happens when viewport parameters conflict.

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 - a single sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the core action and immediately specifies the key differentiator (viewport settings).

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a tool with 4 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (image format, size limitations), doesn't mention dependencies on browser state, and provides no context about how it relates to sibling browser tools.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds minimal value beyond implying viewport customization but doesn't explain parameter interactions (e.g., how preset relates to width/height, what happens when fullPage is true with custom dimensions).

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 ('Take a screenshot') and specifies the scope ('with specific viewport settings'), which distinguishes it from generic screenshot tools. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling 'screenshot_capture' tool, which might have overlapping functionality.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'screenshot_capture' or other browser tools. There's no mention of prerequisites, context requirements, or comparison with sibling tools.

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