2 findings
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
3 of 3 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.
search-products, get-categories, get-cart

<!-- Give the tool a visible counterpart: a declarative form is one the person can see and use too. -->

Findings

WebMCP use

84 / 100 · weight 50
passTools registered
4 / 4
3 tools registered across 1 page. Capture caveat (not scored against the site): the page replaced modelContext on navigator, so imperative tools may be under-reported
passReal-browser eligible
8 / 8
A real browser exposes modelContext natively on this page, so the tools registered here are visible to an agent today.
warningRegistration timing
2 / 4
The slowest tool took 1282.5ms to register, past the 1000ms an agent reading the registry at first paint would wait for.
toolget-cart
get-cart: registered at 1282.5ms
fix
// Register tools as soon as they're ready, not behind a deferred/async chunk.
document.modelContext.provideContext({ tools: [/* ... */] });
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-products
fix
// Use the canonical entry point - navigator.modelContext is deprecated.
document.modelContext.provideContext({ tools: [/* ... */] });
passSchema validity
5 / 5
All 3 tools declare a structurally valid object input schema.
passSchema quality
4 / 4
All 3 tool schemas describe their parameters and stay within Chrome's size guidance.
passStub detection
5 / 5
All 3 tools declare an execute handler.
passAnnotations present
4 / 4
All 3 tools declare a readOnlyHint, so an agent knows which calls change state.
passAnnotation mismatch
3 / 3
No tool claims to be read-only while its name says it writes (3 declared hints checked).
not applicableUntrusted content hint
0 / 2
No tool's contract suggests it returns text written by somebody other than the site, so there is nothing to flag as untrusted.
passRegistration errors
2 / 2
No tool registration threw during the capture. Capture caveat (not scored against the site): the page replaced modelContext on navigator, so imperative tools may be under-reported
warningToolchange coherence
1 / 2
3 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

80 / 100 · weight 30
passNaming quality
2 / 2
All 3 tool names are consistent, verb-led, and within Chrome's size guidance.
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.
warningCoverage vs. site type
6 / 8
The tool set covers 3 of the 4 things an agent needs on a commerce site; it cannot start checkout or place an order.
