Implementation Reference
- index-multi-debug.js:1355-1367 (handler)The 'forward' tool handler function. Ensures browser is running, gets the page for the specified or active tabId, calls page.goForward(), and returns a success message.
async forward(args = {}) { this.ensureBrowserRunning(); const { tabId } = args; const page = this.getPage(tabId); await page.goForward(); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Navigated forward in tab '${tabId || this.activeTabId}'` }] }; } - index-multi-debug.js:244-251 (schema)Tool schema definition including name, description, and inputSchema for optional tabId (string).
{ name: 'forward', description: 'Navigate forward', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { tabId: { type: 'string' } } } }, - index-multi-debug.js:433-434 (registration)Registration in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement that dispatches calls to the forward handler.
case 'forward': return await this.forward(args); - index-multi-debug.js:43-388 (registration)The tool is listed in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, making it discoverable by MCP clients.
