Implementation Reference
- src/tools/api/requests.ts:156-178 (handler)The DeleteRequestTool class provides the execute method that performs the HTTP DELETE request to the specified URL using Playwright's API request context and returns the status and response.
export class DeleteRequestTool extends ApiToolBase { /** * Execute the DELETE request tool */ async execute(args: any, context: ToolContext): Promise<ToolResponse> { return this.safeExecute(context, async (apiContext) => { const response = await apiContext.delete(args.url); let responseText; try { responseText = await response.text(); } catch (error) { responseText = "Unable to get response text"; } return createSuccessResponse([ `DELETE request to ${args.url}`, `Status: ${response.status()} ${response.statusText()}`, `Response: ${responseText.substring(0, 1000)}${responseText.length > 1000 ? '...' : ''}` ]); }); } } - src/tools.ts:296-306 (schema)Defines the input schema for the playwright_delete tool, requiring a 'url' parameter.
