Implementation Reference
- src/tools/browser/navigation.ts:111-121 (handler)The GoForwardTool class implements the core logic for the playwright_go_forward tool by invoking page.goForward() on the Playwright page instance.
export class GoForwardTool extends BrowserToolBase { /** * Execute the go forward tool */ async execute(args: any, context: ToolContext): Promise<ToolResponse> { return this.safeExecute(context, async (page) => { await page.goForward(); return createSuccessResponse("Navigated forward in browser history"); }); } } - src/tools.ts:379-386 (schema)Defines the tool's metadata including name, description, and input schema (empty as no parameters required).
name: "playwright_go_forward", description: "Navigate forward in browser history", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, required: [], }, }, - src/toolHandler.ts:542-543 (registration)Registers the tool handler by dispatching calls to the GoForwardTool instance in the main tool switch statement.
case "playwright_go_forward": return await goForwardTool.execute(args, context); - src/toolHandler.ts:344-344 (registration)Instantiates the GoForwardTool instance for use in handling tool calls.
if (!goForwardTool) goForwardTool = new GoForwardTool(server); - src/tools.ts:468-468 (registration)Includes the tool in the BROWSER_TOOLS array, which determines browser launch requirements.
