import_state

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

The description mentions creating a new context, which is a key behavioral trait, but lacks details on side effects (e.g., destruction of old context), required permissions, file format constraints, or error handling. With no annotations, the description carries the burden and it is insufficient.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence, but it omits critical details. It is not overly verbose, yet it fails to provide necessary information for a complete understanding.

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

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

Given the single parameter and lack of output schema/annotations, the description should explain the parameter, file format, and contextual behavior (e.g., what happens to old state). It does not, leaving significant gaps.

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

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

The description does not reference the sole parameter 'state_path'. Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning beyond the schema's generic title 'State Path'.

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

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

The description clearly states the action ('import') and resource ('browser state'), and specifies the method ('from a JSON file by creating a new context'). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'export_state' and 'reset_browser_state'.

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

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., export_state). No prerequisites or context for usage are provided.

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