Implementation Reference
- src/executor.ts:353-376 (handler)The core handler function for the browser_click tool. It uses Playwright's page.click() to click the element specified by the CSS selector in args.selector, returning success or error messages.
async function handleBrowserClick(page: Page, args: any): Promise<{ toolResult: CallToolResult }> { try { await page.click(args.selector); return { toolResult: { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Clicked element: ${args.selector}`, }], isError: false, }, }; } catch (error) { return { toolResult: { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Click failed on ${args.selector}: ${(error as Error).message}`, }], isError: true, }, }; } } - src/tools.ts:73-83 (schema)Defines the tool schema including name, description, and inputSchema requiring a 'selector' string for the CSS selector.
{ name: "browser_click", description: "Click an element on the page", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { selector: { type: "string", description: "CSS selector for element to click" } }, required: ["selector"] } }, - src/executor.ts:194-195 (registration)Switch case in executeToolCall that registers and routes browser_click tool calls to the handleBrowserClick function.
