ie_wait_ready

Wait for legacy IE page to finish loading by ensuring all frames are complete and DOM stops changing. Returns loaded status, frame/text/element counts, and a content sample.

Instructions

Wait until the page finishes loading: every same-origin frame's document.readyState is 'complete' AND the DOM stops changing for a few polls (content settled). Handles slow async/frameset content. Use THIS to know content is ready, then search the data separately. Do NOT wait for a specific value to detect load — if it's absent you can't tell 'still loading' from 'not present'. Returns loaded=true/false with frame count, text length, element count and a content sample.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It explains the waiting conditions (readyState + DOM settled), handling of async content, and return values. Slightly lacking detail on side effects or prerequisites, but sufficient for a wait tool.

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 concise, front-loaded with purpose, then usage guidance, then return info. Every sentence provides value with no redundancy.

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 no output schema, the description includes return value details (loaded, frame count, etc.), which is good. Could mention edge cases like timeouts, but overall complete for a wait tool.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 waits for page readiness (document.readyState complete and DOM settled). It specifies the exact conditions and distinguishes from waiting for specific values, which avoids confusion.

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?

Explicit guidance: 'Use THIS to know content is ready, then search the data separately' and 'Do NOT wait for a specific value to detect load'. This helps the agent decide when to use this tool versus other approaches.

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