Implementation Reference

  • The handle function implementing the browser_tab_new tool logic: opens a new tab and navigates to the optional URL provided.
    handle: async (context, params) => {
      await context.newTab();
      if (params.url)
        await context.currentTabOrDie().navigate(params.url);
    
      const code = [
        `// <internal code to open a new tab>`,
      ];
      return {
        code,
        captureSnapshot,
        waitForNetwork: false
      };
    },
  • Schema definition for browser_tab_new tool, specifying input (optional url) and metadata.
    schema: {
      name: 'browser_tab_new',
      title: 'Open a new tab',
      description: 'Open a new tab',
      inputSchema: z.object({
        url: z.string().optional().describe('The URL to navigate to in the new tab. If not provided, the new tab will be blank.'),
      }),
      type: 'readOnly',
    },
  • Registration of the browser_tab_new tool (via newTab factory) in the exported array of tabs tools.
    export default (captureSnapshot: boolean) => [
      listTabs,
      newTab(captureSnapshot),
      selectTab(captureSnapshot),
      closeTab(captureSnapshot),
    ];
  • src/tools.ts:35-50 (registration)
    Inclusion of tabs tools (including browser_tab_new with captureSnapshot=true) in snapshotTools array.
    export const snapshotTools: Tool<any>[] = [

      ...dialogs(true),
      ...files(true),
      ...install,
      ...keyboard(true),
      ...navigate(true),
      ...network,
      ...pdf,
      ...screenshot,
      ...snapshot,
      ...tabs(true),
      ...testing,
      ...wait(true),
    ];
  • src/tools.ts:52-66 (registration)

      ...dialogs(false),
      ...files(false),
      ...install,
      ...keyboard(false),
