- src/tools/navigate.ts:23-31 (schema)Schema definition for the 'browser_navigate' tool, including name, title, description, Zod input schema requiring a 'url' string, and type 'destructive'.schema: { name: 'browser_navigate', title: 'Navigate to a URL', description: 'Navigate to a URL', inputSchema: z.object({ url: z.string().describe('The URL to navigate to'), }), type: 'destructive', },
- src/tools.ts:35-50 (registration)Registration of the 'browser_navigate' tool as part of the snapshotTools array by spreading the navigate module with captureSnapshot enabled.export const snapshotTools: Tool<any>[] = [ ...common(true), ...console, ...dialogs(true), ...files(true), ...install, ...keyboard(true), ...navigate(true), ...network, ...pdf, ...screenshot, ...snapshot, ...tabs(true), ...testing, ...wait(true), ];
- src/tools.ts:52-66 (registration)Registration of the 'browser_navigate' tool as part of the visionTools array by spreading the navigate module without captureSnapshot.export const visionTools: Tool<any>[] = [ ...common(false), ...console, ...dialogs(false), ...files(false), ...install, ...keyboard(false), ...navigate(false), ...network, ...pdf, ...tabs(false), ...testing, ...vision, ...wait(false), ];
