case "playwright_post": try { var data = { data: args.value, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }; var response = await apiContext!.post(args.url, data); return { toolResult: { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Performed POST Operation ${args.url} with data ${JSON.stringify(args.value, null, 2)}`, }, { type: "text", text: `Response: ${JSON.stringify(await response.json(), null, 2)}`, }, { type: "text", text: `Response code ${response.status()}` }], isError: false, }, }; } catch (error) { return { toolResult: { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to perform POST operation on ${args.url}: ${(error as Error).message}`, }], isError: true, }, }; } - src/tools.ts:101-112 (schema)The tool definition object for 'playwright_post', providing the name, description, and input schema (url and value as required strings).
