cross-validated-search

browse_page

Fetch and extract pure text from any URL to read full page content. Use after searching to access detailed information.

Instructions

Fetch and extract pure text content from a specific URL. Use this to read the full content of a page found via search_web.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe URL of the webpage to read.
max_charsNoMaximum number of characters to extract. Default is 10000.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, and the description only mentions 'pure text content' but lacks details about handling of dynamic content, redirects, errors, or rate limits, which are important for a fetch 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?

Two sentences with no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded, and the sentence about usage adds value.

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?

For a simple tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description is mostly adequate but could benefit from mentioning behavior like page size limits or error handling.

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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add additional meaning to parameters beyond what the schema already provides.

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 verb 'Fetch and extract' and the resource 'pure text content from a specific URL', and explicitly differentiates from sibling tool search_web by specifying usage after searching.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It provides clear context for when to use ('to read the full content of a page found via search_web'), though it does not explicitly state when not to use or list all alternatives.

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