click_link

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

With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action and targeting strategy; it does not mention waiting behavior, handling of multiple matching links, what happens if the link is not visible, or that clicking may trigger navigation. This is minimal transparency for an interaction tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word adds value: 'Click', 'link', '<a> tag', and 'visible text' are all informative.

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

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

For a one-parameter tool with an output schema, the description covers the core operation adequately. However, given the large set of sibling click tools and missing usage guidance, an agent could be uncertain about prerequisites or alternative selection. The description is minimally viable but not fully complete.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does so by defining link_text as the visible text of the <a> tag, giving the single parameter meaningful context beyond the bare schema label 'Link Text'.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description specifies a clear verb (Click), a specific resource (a link / <a> tag), and the targeting method (by its visible text). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like click_nth_element (by index) or click_visible_elements (by selector).

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

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

The description implies usage when you have the visible text of a link, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives like click, click_if_visible, or nested_click. No exclusions or selection criteria are provided, leaving the agent to infer the appropriate context from the tool name and siblings.

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