interactive_login

Manually log in through a visible browser to handle 2FA, SSO, or CAPTCHA, then save the session for future automated use.

Instructions

Open a VISIBLE browser window for a human to log in by hand — the way to authenticate flows that can't be automated (2FA/MFA, SSO/OAuth redirects, CAPTCHA, magic links, device confirmation). After you finish logging in, call save_login to capture the session; future headless sessions on the project reuse it. Requires a display on the server (DISPLAY set).

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description fully explains behavior: opens visible browser, requires human input, requires display, and session capture via save_login. Could mention consequences if display not set.

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 concise sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded with action verb and purpose.

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?

Description covers purpose, usage flow, prerequisite, and follow-up action. Could mention error handling or timeout, but overall complete given no output schema.

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 100% with descriptions. Description adds minimal extra meaning beyond schema (e.g., project must exist, login_url defaults to configured). Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the tool opens a visible browser window for manual login, specifying exact use cases (2FA, MFA, SSO, CAPTCHA, magic links, device confirmation), and distinguishes it from automated login methods.

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?

Explicitly says when to use (non-automated auth flows) and directs to call save_login afterwards. Does not provide explicit 'do not use' conditions but implies automated alternatives. Also mentions system requirement (DISPLAY set).

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