pilot_cdp

Bypass bot detection by connecting to a real Chrome browser via CDP. Uses your existing profile and tabs to avoid fingerprinting.

Instructions

Connect Pilot to a real Chrome browser already running on the user's machine via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Use when Cloudflare or other bot detection blocks even headed mode. A real Chrome with the user's real profile bypasses fingerprinting entirely.

Parameters:

  • port (optional, default 9222): The remote debugging port Chrome was launched with.

How to start Chrome with CDP enabled: macOS: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 Windows: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222 Linux: google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

Returns: Confirmation of connection with tab count and active URL.

Errors:

  • "Cannot connect": Chrome is not running or not started with the --remote-debugging-port flag.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

Behavior4/5

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

Describes connection behavior, port parameter, how to start Chrome, and errors. No annotations provided so description carries full burden; adequately transparent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with sections, front-loaded purpose. Each sentence adds value, though could be slightly more concise.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Covers purpose, usage, parameters, setup instructions, return value, and errors. Complete for a connection tool.

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?

Only one parameter (port) with full schema coverage. Description adds default value and usage hint but schema already describes it.

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?

Clearly states the tool connects Pilot to a real Chrome browser via CDP. Distinguishes from siblings as it's about connecting to an external browser, not performing automation actions.

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 advises use when bot detection blocks headed mode, providing context. Does not list alternatives but the context is clear.

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