Left-click at a specified screen coordinate. Optionally hold modifier keys like Ctrl or Shift during the click to perform advanced interactions.

Instructions

Left-click at a coordinate.

coordinateYes[x, y] in the model coordinate space (scaled to the screen).
textNoOptional modifier key(s) to hold during the click, e.g. 'ctrl' or 'shift+alt'.
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action without effects, prerequisites, or outcomes (e.g., whether the cursor moves, if the click is instant, or if it can fail). This is insufficient for agent understanding.

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?

The description is extremely concise—one front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the core action.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description should explain what happens after execution (e.g., return value, success/failure behavior). It does not, leaving an incomplete picture for the agent.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, which already explains coordinate as [x,y] in model space and text as optional modifier keys.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states it performs a left-click at a coordinate. It specifies the verb 'click' and the resource 'coordinate', but does not distinguish from siblings like left_click_drag or double_click, which also involve left-clicking.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., left_click_drag, double_click). There is no mention of context or exclusions, leaving the agent without direction for selection.

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