WebDriverIO MCP Server

Official

navigate

Idempotent

Loads a specified URL in the current tab and waits for page load to complete. Resets DOM and JavaScript state, ideal for direct navigation when the target URL is known.

Instructions

Loads a URL in the current tab and waits for the page load event. Resets page state — DOM, JS runtime, timers, and frame context are destroyed. Use instead of clicking links when the target URL is known.

Behavior5/5

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

Adds important context beyond annotations: resets page state (DOM, JS runtime, timers, frame context are destroyed), no contradiction with idempotent and non-destructive hints.

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, front-loaded with main action, no wasted words.

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?

Covers main behavior and state reset, could mention error handling but sufficient for a simple navigation 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%, description adds little beyond the schema's parameter description; baseline 3 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?

Clearly states it loads a URL and waits for page load, distinguishes from clicking links by specifying target URL known.

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 says 'Use instead of clicking links when the target URL is known', providing clear when-to-use guidance.

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