window_manage

Move, resize, minimize, maximize, or close a window. Closing may trigger confirmation dialogs to prevent data loss.

Instructions

move/resize/minimize/unminimize/maximize/close a window. close may trigger 'Don't Save' dialogs and needs confirmation under the default policy.

Behavior4/5

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

The description reveals a non-obvious behavior: close may trigger 'Don't Save' dialogs and requires confirmation under default policy. Given no annotations exist, this adds valuable safety information, though other actions' side effects are not detailed.

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 the action list, with a concise caveat. No filler.

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?

Covers the main actions and a key caveat, but lacks parameter details (e.g., bounds needed for move/resize) and any mention of how window_ref is obtained. For a multi-action tool with no annotations or output schema, additional context would improve completeness.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It only repeats the action enum and mentions close, but does not describe window_ref or bounds semantics or when they are required.

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 enumerates the window management actions (move, resize, minimize, etc.) and identifies the target resource (a window). It distinguishes from sibling tools like window_focus and window_list by covering a distinct set of state-changing operations.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as window_focus or mouse_drag. The description mentions caveats for close but does not state usage context or exclusions.

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