Create a full replication kit

create_replication_kit

Build a complete page replication kit: captures screenshots, assets, layout trees, animations, and a guide for any URL in one pass.

Instructions

Use this when you need a broad first-pass package for reproducing a complete page. Avoid it when you only need one component, one screenshot, or a quick design overview. Write screenshots, assets, design data, layout trees, animations, and a replication guide in one pass. Cost: heavy. Session: captures one URL at multiple viewport states. May write files when an output path is provided. Replaces these separate first-pass calls: analyze_site, capture_screenshot, extract_assets, extract_layout. Possible follow-ups if evidence is still missing: extract_responsive, extract_animations, capture_motion, compare_replica.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already communicate non-read-only and open-world behavior, and the description adds meaningful context by noting it may write files, is cost-heavy, and captures one URL at multiple viewport states. It does not detail overwrite behavior or auth requirements, but the annotations plus this description cover the essential safety and side-effect profile.

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?

The description is dense but every sentence earns its place: selection guidance, explicit exclusions, outputs, cost, side effects, replaced tools, and possible follow-ups. The most important usage guidance is front-loaded, and nothing feels redundant or wasted.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a complex 18-parameter composite tool with an output schema, the description provides complete context: when to use it, when to avoid it, what it produces, what side effects it has, which siblings it replaces, and what to try next if evidence is missing. No critical selection or invocation context is absent.

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%, with all 18 parameters already well documented. The description adds a small amount of interpretive context, such as single-URL and multi-viewport behavior, but does not need to restate parameter details. This matches the baseline for full schema coverage.

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 defines the tool's purpose: creating a broad first-pass replication kit for a complete page, with an explicit list of outputs such as screenshots, assets, design data, layout trees, animations, and a replication guide. It also distinguishes this tool from narrower alternatives like single-component extraction or screenshot capture, so an agent can identify it without opening the schema.

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?

The description gives explicit when-to-use guidance ('broad first-pass package for reproducing a complete page') and when-not-to-use guidance ('one component, one screenshot, or a quick design overview'). It also names the exact sibling tools this replaces and lists possible follow-up tools, leaving little to inference.

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