test_url

Test a URL with screenshots and checks for visual, accessibility, functionality, SEO, performance, and GEO readiness for AI agents.

Instructions

Test a single URL. Takes screenshot and runs checks for visual issues, accessibility, functionality, SEO, performance, and GEO (AI/agentic search readiness: robots.txt AI-crawler access, llms.txt, WebMCP, JSON-LD).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesURL to test
checksNoTypes of checks to run (visual, accessibility, functionality, seo, performance, geo). Default: all
projectNoProject name (optional). With a project: runs in its shared, authenticated context. Without: runs in an isolated context (no shared cookies/login).
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It details screenshot taking, check types, and GEO specifics (robots.txt, llms.txt, etc.), but omits error handling or timeouts.

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, front-loaded sentences with no wasted words. Every part adds information.

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?

The description covers purpose and behavior well, but lacks mention of return values or output structure. Given no output schema, a brief note on what is returned would improve completeness.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, yet the description adds value: explains project parameter behavior (shared vs isolated context) and notes default checks = all. This goes beyond the schema.

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 'Test a single URL' and lists specific check types (visual, accessibility, etc.), distinguishing it from siblings like test_project and run_lighthouse.

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?

The description implies use for single URL testing and lists checks but does not explicitly guide when to use it versus alternatives like test_project or run_checks_on_session.

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