fill_form

Fill form fields in a session page and optionally submit. Bypass actionability checks when overlays block inputs using force=true.

Instructions

Fill form fields in a session page and optionally submit. Use force=true to bypass actionability checks when overlays or dialogs block the inputs.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
forceNoBypass actionability checks — fill even when overlays/dialogs block the inputs (default: false)
fieldsYesFields to fill: [{selector, value}]
observeNoWhat to return about the resulting page. 'screenshot' (default): full-page image. 'none': structured result only, no image — cheapest, use through setup steps of a flow. 'map': semantic page map (get_page_map — token-light, best for 'what can I do next?'). 'checks': run_checks_on_session output (a11y/seo/perf/etc.).screenshot
session_idYesSession ID
submit_selectorNoCSS selector for submit button (optional)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions force bypass but does not explain error handling or what happens if selectors are invalid or submission fails.

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?

Two sentences: first states purpose, second provides key usage tip. No redundancy, front-loaded with essential information.

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?

With 5 parameters, no output schema, and many sibling tools, the description lacks completeness. Missing: error behavior, handling of missing fields, comparison to 'auto_fill_form', and details about the 'observe' parameter's impact.

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 100%, so the description adds only incremental value beyond schema descriptions. The tip about 'force=true' provides practical guidance, but does not significantly enhance understanding of parameters.

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 tool fills form fields in a session page with optional submission. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not differentiate from the sibling 'auto_fill_form' which may handle automatic filling.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Provides a usage tip for 'force=true' to bypass actionability checks, but lacks guidance on when to use this tool over siblings like 'auto_fill_form' or alternatives for form interaction.

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