Report backend/session status: paired browser profiles and how each was named, and flags for switched-off capabilities.
No arguments.
{
"tool": "chrome_status",
"args": {}
}auth_check
Is the tab sitting on a sign-in wall? Reads the page (URL, title, password fields, sign-in controls) and returns { authRequired, confidence, signals }. Use it after a navigate, or whenever a step fails unexpectedly, to tell "the session expired" apart from "the agent got lost". Pass failOnAuthWall:true to get an [AUTH_REQUIRED] error instead of a verdict, so a harness can bucket the run as an auth failure.
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
failOnAuthWall | boolean | no | Error with [AUTH_REQUIRED] if this lands on a sign-in wall (expired session) |
frameId | number | no | Frame id from frames_list |
allFrames | boolean | no | Act on the first match in ANY frame (the element may be in an iframe) |
tabId | string | no | Tab id (default: active tab) |
{
"tool": "auth_check",
"args": {}
}profile_use
Switch the active browser profile (identity). Subsequent downloads, results, screenshots, and the action log are stored under profiles//. Resets the active task to "default" unless you then call task_new.
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | yes | Profile name (becomes a folder; sanitized to a safe path segment). |
{
"tool": "profile_use",
"args": {
"name": "<name>"
}
}task_new
Start a new task (run) under the active profile. Creates profiles//tasks// with downloads/, results/, screenshots/ and makes it the active task so all captured artifacts land there.
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | yes | Task name (becomes a folder; sanitized to a safe path segment). |
