chrome_page_load_summary

Read-onlyIdempotent

Summarizes each page navigation in a Chrome trace, returning navigation ID, URL, and key timings (FCP, LCP, DCL, load) to compare load performance across navigations.

Instructions

Summarize each page navigation in a Chrome trace: navigation id, URL, raw boundary timestamps, FCP / LCP / DCL / load timings in ms. Read-only.

Use when: comparing page-load timings across navigations, finding slow loads, baselining web-vitals before/after a change. Prefer over hand-joining chrome.page_loads — schema is already correct.

Don't use for: non-Chrome traces (will error). For sub-event timings inside one navigation, drop to execute_sql against the chrome.page_loads module.

Parameters: optional limit (default 100, capped at 5000) and max_string_len. Operates on the loaded trace.

Output: metadata-first JSON; row_count exact; truncated=true means more rows exist; string_truncated=true means shortened text.

Empty result: no navigations occurred during capture (e.g. trace started after the page was already loaded).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoOptional max rows to return. Defaults to 100 and is capped at 5000. Must be > 0 when set; accepts both numbers and numeric strings.
trace_idNoOptional trace id returned by `load_trace`. Omit to use the active trace.
max_string_lenNoOptional per-string-cell character cap applied to returned Chrome-tool rows only. Unset preserves full strings for precision; accepts both numbers and numeric strings. Must be > 0 when set.
Behavior5/5

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

Description adds context beyond annotations: states read-only, describes output format (metadata-first JSON), mentions row_count and truncated flags, and explains empty result behavior. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, but description enriches 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?

Concise with 5-6 sentences, each serving a purpose: purpose, read-only, usage, don't-use, parameters, output, empty result. No fluff.

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?

For a tool with three optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers output structure, edge cases, and usage context thoroughly. Sufficient for an agent to decide and invoke correctly.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and includes descriptions for all three parameters. Description reinforces limit (default 100, capped 5000) and max_string_len role. Trace_id is omitted from description but schema covers it well, so value added is moderate.

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 summarizes page navigations in a Chrome trace, enumerating specific timings (FCP, LCP, DCL, load). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like chrome_page_load_resource_hotspots by focusing on top-level navigation summary.

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 provides when to use (comparing timings), when not to use (non-Chrome traces), and an alternative (execute_sql for sub-event timings). Also recommends preferring this over manual joins.

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