B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are available so the description carries the full burden. It only says 'close the browser session' and 'safe to call repeatedly', but does not disclose whether this terminates all browser state or if there are side effects on open windows, tabs, or downloads. The behavioral context is thin.

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 short sentences that are front-loaded and to the point. Every sentence adds value: the first states the action, the second clarifies safety/repeatability. No wasted words.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given zero parameters and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and safety. However, it lacks details on what happens after closing (e.g., can browser_start reopen cleanly) or any cleanup behavior, which might be useful context for an agent.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value by stating it is safe to call repeatedly, which implies no parameters are needed and calls are idempotent. With no parameters to explain, this is appropriate.

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 the tool closes the browser session with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes enough from siblings like 'navigate' which moves within a session.

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 notes it is safe to call repeatedly, which implies idempotency, but does not explicitly tell when to call it (e.g., end of a browsing task) or when not to (e.g., still need to interact). No sibling differentiation is provided.

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