Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_pages

List all open tabs with index, title, and URL. The currently selected tab is marked. Use the index with select_page.

new_page

Open a new tab and navigate it to the provided URL. Returns the new tab index in the response.

navigate_page

Navigate the currently selected tab to the provided URL.

select_page

Select the active tab by index (preferred), or by matching URL/title. Index takes precedence when multiple parameters are provided.

close_page

Close the tab at the given index. Use list_pages to find valid indices.

list_console_messages

List console messages for the selected tab since the last navigation. Use filters (level, limit, sinceMs, textContains, source) to focus on recent and relevant logs.

clear_console_messages

Clear the collected console messages. TIP: Clear before a new measurement to keep output focused.

list_network_requests

List recent network requests across all tabs. Network capture is always on. Use filters (limit, sinceMs, urlContains, method, status, resourceType) and detail (summary|min|full) to control output. Each entry includes a stable id for use with get_network_request.

get_network_request

Get detailed information about a network request by id (recommended). URL lookup is available as a fallback but may match multiple requests.

take_snapshot

Capture a textual page snapshot with stable UIDs for elements. Always take a fresh snapshot after navigation or major DOM changes. TIP: Use the UIDs with click_by_uid / fill_by_uid / hover_by_uid. The output may be truncated for readability.

resolve_uid_to_selector

Resolve a UID to a CSS selector (debugging aid). Fails on stale UIDs—take a fresh snapshot first.

clear_snapshot

Clear the snapshot/UID cache. Usually not needed, as navigation invalidates snapshots automatically.

click_by_uid

Click an element identified by its UID. Supports double-click via dblClick=true. TIP: Take a fresh snapshot if the UID becomes stale.

hover_by_uid

Hover over an element identified by its UID. TIP: Take a fresh snapshot if the UID becomes stale.

fill_by_uid

Fill a text input or textarea identified by its UID. Keep values short and safe. TIP: Take a fresh snapshot if the UID becomes stale.

drag_by_uid_to_uid

Simulate HTML5 drag-and-drop from one UID to another using JS drag events. May not work with all custom libraries.

fill_form_by_uid

Fill multiple form fields in one call using an array of {uid, value} pairs.

upload_file_by_uid

Upload a file into an element identified by its UID. The file path must be accessible to the server.

screenshot_page

Capture a PNG screenshot of the current page and return it as a base64 string (without data: prefix). TIP: Use for visual verification rather than structural inspection.

screenshot_by_uid

Capture a PNG screenshot of a specific element by UID and return it as a base64 string (without data: prefix). TIP: Take a fresh snapshot if the UID is stale.

accept_dialog

Accept the active browser dialog (alert/confirm/prompt). For prompts, you may provide promptText. Returns an error if no dialog is open.

dismiss_dialog

Dismiss the active browser dialog (alert/confirm/prompt). Returns an error if no dialog is open.

navigate_history

Navigate the selected tab's history back or forward. NOTE: After navigation, UIDs from previous snapshots are stale—take a new snapshot before UID-based actions.

set_viewport_size

Set the browser viewport size (width x height in pixels). In some modes (e.g., headless), the actual size may vary slightly.
