Instructions
[Tauri Apps Only] Find DOM elements in a running Tauri app's webview. Supports CSS selectors (default), XPath expressions, and text content matching via the strategy parameter. The "text" strategy first searches element text content, then falls back to placeholder, aria-label, and title attributes. Returns the element's HTML. Requires active driver_session. Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser pages or documentation sites, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.
