act

Execute natural language goals in a browser by visually analyzing the page to determine actions like clicking, typing, or scrolling.

Instructions

Execute a goal using direct Fara visual grounding. Fara decides what action to take (click, type, scroll, etc.) based on the goal and screenshot.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
goalYesNatural language goal (e.g., 'click the search button', 'type hello into the email field')
driverYesDriver alias (must be browser)
session_idYesSession ID
Behavior3/5

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

Without annotations, the description carries full burden. It mentions that Fara uses a screenshot and decides the action, but lacks details on failure modes, prerequisites, or side effects.

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 and behavior with no wasted words.

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?

Given the sibling tools and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains the tool's role for an AI agent, though it could benefit from more detail on return values or error handling.

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?

All three parameters are described in the schema, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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 the verb 'Execute' and the resource 'goal using direct Fara visual grounding', distinguishing it from sibling tools like click or type by emphasizing that Fara decides the action.

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 when to use act (for autonomous action selection) but does not explicitly state when to prefer it over specific actions like click or type, or when not to use it.

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