move_mouse

Move the mouse pointer to absolute pixel coordinates to trigger hover states. Follow with screenshot to see the effect.

Instructions

Move the mouse pointer to absolute pixel coords in an instance (no click).

Returns {"ok", "action", "instance", "detail"}. Useful for hover states (menus, tooltips) — follow with screenshot() to see the effect. Fails (isError) if the instance is down.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description discloses that it does not click, returns a specific structure, fails if instance is down, and is useful for hover states. This is sufficient for a simple pointer move.

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, front-loaded with purpose, each adding value: behavior, return, use case, and failure condition. No wasted words.

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?

For a simple tool with 3 parameters and no enums, the description covers purpose, return values, use case, and error condition, making it complete for an agent to select and invoke correctly.

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 0%, so description should compensate. It mentions 'absolute pixel coords' for x and y and refers to 'instance', but does not detail ranges or units. The schema itself is clear enough for simple integer coordinates.

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 clearly states the tool moves the mouse pointer to absolute pixel coordinates without clicking, and distinguishes it from sibling tools like click and double_click.

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?

The description provides a clear use case for hover states and suggests following with screenshot, but does not explicitly mention when not to use or name alternatives.

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