- index-multi-debug.js:1248-1266 (handler)The core handler function for the 'get_page_text' tool. It retrieves the text content from a specified selector or the entire body of the page in the given tab using Playwright's page.textContent method, then returns it formatted for MCP response.
async getPageText(args = {}) { this.ensureBrowserRunning(); const { selector, tabId } = args; const page = this.getPage(tabId); let text; if (selector) { text = await page.textContent(selector); } else { text = await page.textContent('body'); } return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: text || '' }] }; } - index-multi-debug.js:200-209 (schema)Input schema definition for the get_page_text tool, specifying optional selector (CSS selector for specific element) and tabId (for multi-tab support).
