• find_element

  Look up one element and describe it: tag, visible text, and whether it is displayed and enabled. Waits for it to exist.

• frame

  Move into or out of an iframe. Elements inside an iframe (embedded widgets, rich-text editors, payment fields) cannot be found by other tools until you switch into it.

• get_attribute

  Read an attribute or property of an element, e.g. an input's value, a link's href, or whether it is disabled, checked, or aria-expanded.

• get_page_source

  Return the page's current HTML (the live DOM, including changes made by scripts), cut off at maxLength characters.

• get_text

  Read the visible text of an element: what a user sees, not hidden text or an input's value.

• get_title

  Return the current page's title, the text shown in the browser tab.

• history

  Browser history navigation: go back to the previous page (like the Back button), go forward to the next page, or refresh/reload the current page (like F5).

• interact

  Mouse actions beyond a plain click: double_click, right_click (opens a context menu), hover (reveals menus and tooltips),

• navigate

  Open a URL in the current tab and wait for the page to load (up to the pageLoadTimeoutMs set in start_browser).

• press_key

  Press one key on whichever element currently has focus, e.g. Enter to submit, Tab to move focus, Escape to close a dialog, or arrow keys in a list.

• retry_click

  Click with retries, for clicks that fail intermittently: the element is covered by a loading overlay or animation,

• scroll

  Scroll the page: scroll down or up by pixels, jump to the top or bottom, or scroll an element into view (to the middle of the screen).

• select_option

  Select an option in a native <select> dropdown by visible text, value, or zero-based index, and return the resulting selection.

• selector_hint_deletewrite action

  Permanently remove a saved selector hint from the hints file, e.g. when the site changed and the selector no longer works.

• selector_hint_get

  Look up a saved selector by key for a site and return it, ready to pass as the selector of click, type, get_text, and similar tools.

• selector_hint_list

  List saved selector hints (key, domain, and selector) for every site, or only for one domain.

• selector_hint_save

  Remember a selector that worked, under a short key for a site, so later runs can reuse it instead of rediscovering the element.

• session_createwrite action

  Open an additional, independent browser session (its own window, cookies, and login state) and make it the active one; all other tools act on the active session.

• session_destroywrite action

  Close one browser session by id and quit its browser; its cookies, login state, and open pages are lost.

• session_list

  List every open browser session (id, browser, headless, window size, start time) and which one is active.

• session_select

  Make an existing browser session the active one, so every following tool call acts on that browser.

• start_browser

  Start a browser session (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) that all other tools act on. Call this first.

• stop_browser

  Close the active browser session and quit its browser; its cookies, login state, and open pages are lost.

• take_screenshot

  Capture a PNG screenshot of the visible viewport. Returns it as base64 and/or saves it to savePath (folders are created as needed; an existing file is overwritten).

• type

  Type text into an input, textarea, or other editable element. Waits for it to be visible, clears the current value first

• upload_filewrite action

  Attach a local file to a file input (<input type="file">) without opening the operating system's file picker.

  Wait until the current page's URL or title meets a condition: URL contains text, URL matches a regular expression, and/or title contains text (all given conditions must hold).

• window

  Manage browser tabs and windows, and resize the viewport.
