case ToolName.BrowserClick: try { await page.locator(args.selector).click(); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Clicked: ${args.selector}`, }], isError: false, }; } catch (error) { if((error as Error).message.includes("strict mode violation")) { console.log("Strict mode violation, retrying on first element..."); try { await page.locator(args.selector).first().click(); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Clicked: ${args.selector}`, }], isError: false, }; } catch (error) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed (twice) to click ${args.selector}: ${(error as Error).message}`, }], isError: true, }; } } return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to click ${args.selector}: ${(error as Error).message}`, }], isError: true, }; } - index.ts:61-71 (registration)Tool registration in the TOOLS array, including name, description, and input schema requiring a CSS selector.
