failCanonical entry point
0 / 4
Every tool registers through the deprecated navigator.modelContext alias; move them to document.modelContext before the alias is removed.
fix
// Use the canonical entry point - navigator.modelContext is deprecated.
document.modelContext.provideContext({ tools: [/* ... */] });
warningHuman parity
0 / 8
4 of 4 tools run through the JavaScript API with no visible counterpart, so the person co-browsing cannot see what the agent is offered. Declarative forms (or at least a title annotation) close the gap.

Findings

WebMCP use

62 / 100 · weight 50
passTools registered
4 / 4
4 tools registered across 1 page.
failReal-browser eligible
0 / 8
The page's code registers these tools, but a real visitor's browser does not get them yet: WebMCP needs a native modelContext or a current origin trial token, and this page has neither.
passRegistration timing
4 / 4
Every measured tool registered within 435.7000000476837ms of navigation.
toolnavigate_to_page
failCanonical entry point
0 / 4
Every tool registers through the deprecated navigator.modelContext alias; move them to document.modelContext before the alias is removed.
toolsearch_pages
fix
// Use the canonical entry point - navigator.modelContext is deprecated.
document.modelContext.provideContext({ tools: [/* ... */] });
passSchema validity
5 / 5
All 4 tools declare a structurally valid object input schema.
passSchema quality
4 / 4
All 4 tool schemas describe their parameters and stay within Chrome's size guidance.
passStub detection
5 / 5
All 4 tools declare an execute handler.
warningAnnotations present
1 / 4
3 of 4 tools declare no readOnlyHint, so an agent cannot tell a read from a write without guessing from the name.
toolnavigate_to_page
navigate_to_page, subscribe_to_newsletter, open_contact_sales
fix
{
  name: "navigate_to_page",
  annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true }
}
passAnnotation mismatch
3 / 3
No tool claims to be read-only while its name says it writes (1 declared hint checked).
warningUntrusted content hint
0 / 2
1 of 1 tools look like they return text written by other people but declare no untrustedContentHint, so an agent will treat the response as the site speaking.
toolsubscribe_to_newsletter
subscribe_to_newsletter: user, email
fix
{ name: "subscribe_to_newsletter", annotations: { untrustedContentHint: true } }
passRegistration errors
2 / 2
No tool registration threw during the capture.
warningToolchange coherence
1 / 2
4 tools were registered but the page never dispatched a toolchange event, so an agent subscribed to registry updates never learns they exist.
fix
document.modelContext.dispatchEvent(new Event("toolchange"));
not applicableInjection surface
0 / 3
The injection-surface model hop returned no usable result, so tool contracts were not reviewed for injection surface.

Usefulness

35 / 100 · weight 30
warningNaming quality
1.5 / 2
Tool naming makes selection harder than it needs to be: 2 names do not start with a verb (navigate_to_page).
toolnavigate_to_page
fix
{ name: "navigate_to_page" /* short, unique, verb-based */ }
not applicableDescription quality
0 / 6
The description-quality model hop returned no usable result, so descriptions were not rated.
not applicableTool selection
0 / 14
The tool-selection model hop returned no usable result.
failCoverage vs. site type
2 / 8
The tool set covers 1 of the 4 things an agent needs on a saas site; it cannot read one item in detail or create a record or start a job or update or move an existing record.

0 / 12
The page-experience model hop returned no usable result, so the page was not graded.
