mock_response

Intercept network requests matching a URL pattern and respond with predefined data for testing without a backend.

Instructions

Intercept fetch/XHR requests matching a URL pattern and return a canned response. Useful for testing without a real backend. Injection survives until the page is reloaded.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
url_patternYesSubstring or regex pattern to match the request URL
statusNo
bodyNoResponse body string{}
content_typeNoapplication/json
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries the burden. Discloses that injection survives until page reload, but does not specify behavior on navigation, multiple matches, or error handling. Adequate but not exhaustive.

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 efficiently convey purpose, usage, and longevity. No irrelevant 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?

Covers main purpose and lifespan. With siblings including clear_mock_responses, mentioning how to clear could improve completeness. Otherwise sufficient for a simple tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 50% (only url_pattern and body have descriptions). The tool description adds no additional parameter-level details beyond what's in the schema, missing opportunity to clarify defaults or behavior of status and content_type.

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?

Clearly describes intercepting fetch/XHR requests with a URL pattern and returning a canned response. Specific verb and resource, distinct from sibling tools like assertions or navigation.

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?

States usefulness for testing without a real backend and mentions injection survives until page reload. Does not explicitly exclude scenarios or mention alternatives like clear_mock_responses, but context is clear.

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