Navigate Page

browser_navigate
Destructive

Navigate the active browser to a specified URL for reproduction, redirect investigation, authentication, or network-timing diagnosis.

Instructions

Use when the active page must open an exact URL as part of a reproduction, redirect investigation, authentication flow, or network-timing diagnosis. Preconditions: a browser must be active and the destination must be within the authorized development or test scope. Next: inspect state or begin the action sequence; use monitor_get_summary after stopping any active trace. Sensitivity: navigation contacts an external origin and may send cookies or other browser credentials.

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond annotations (destructiveHint, readOnlyHint), the description adds that navigation contacts an external origin and may send cookies/credentials, and warns about authorized scope, enhancing transparency.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no fluff. Each sentence adds distinct, valuable information (purpose, preconditions/next steps, sensitivity).

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (2 params, output schema exists), the description covers use cases, preconditions, sensitive behavior, and follow-up actions, making it complete for agent decision-making.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain the parameters (url format, waitUntil enum values). It only mentions 'exact URL', leaving the agent without full parameter guidance.

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 tool navigates to an exact URL for specific use cases like reproduction, redirect investigation, etc., and distinguishes from sibling navigation tools (e.g., browser_go_back).

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states when to use (authentication flow, network-timing diagnosis), preconditions (browser active, destination in scope), and next steps (inspect state, use monitor_get_summary).

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