browser_cdp_send

Send raw Chrome DevTools Protocol commands to access any CDP capability, including network, emulation, and performance metrics not otherwise exposed.

Instructions

Send a raw Chrome DevTools Protocol command and return its result.

Escape hatch for any CDP capability not wrapped elsewhere — e.g. method='Network.getResponseBody' {requestId}, 'Network.getRequestPostData' {requestId}, 'Emulation.setGeolocationOverride', 'Emulation.setDeviceMetricsOverride', 'Network.emulateNetworkConditions', 'Performance.getMetrics'. Chromium only.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description does not disclose potential destructiveness, required permissions, or that raw commands can harm browser state. Only mentions Chromium limitation.

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?

Very concise - one main sentence and a line of examples. Front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence is informative.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Lacks output format description, error handling, or safety warnings. For a raw command tool that can do anything, more context is needed about what to expect.

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 coverage is 0%. The description helps by showing example method and parameter patterns, but doesn't explain the params or session_id objects individually. Some value added but incomplete.

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 states it sends a raw CDP command and returns the result, with specific examples like Network.getResponseBody. It differentiates from siblings by being the low-level escape hatch.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly calls itself an escape hatch for unsupported CDP capabilities, implying use only when other tools don't cover the need. Doesn't list alternative tools but provides guidance.

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