Chrome Bridge tools (59, 12 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
assertAssert a page condition, polling until timeout: element exists/visible (optionally with count or containing text), text on page, tab url/title. Patterns: substring, or "/…/" for regex. Recorded flows replay it as a test.
auditwrite actionOne-call page audit, pick the kinds: accessibility, keyboard (tab order and focus issues), SEO, security headers, broken links,
clickClick an element by CSS selector or by a ref (n1, n2…) from get_interactives or navigate. A real pointer sequence: it can submit,
clipboardwrite actionRead or write the system clipboard (text). Activates the tab first.
cookie_auditCookie and consent-banner audit: clears this site's cookies, reloads, records cookies and third-party requests BEFORE consent,
create_tabwrite actionOpen a new tab, optionally at a URL, and make it the implicit target of later commands in this session.
dismiss_overlaysDismiss cookie banners/modal overlays: OneTrust, Cookiebot, Usercentrics, then generic heuristic. Idempotent.
drag_and_dropwrite actionDrag an element onto another. html5 = DragEvent+DataTransfer; pointer = pointer/mouse events (sortable libraries).
element_screenshotScreenshot cropped to one element or to a viewport region (PNG), optionally enlarged. Read-only.
emulate_mediaMake the page believe it runs elsewhere, until reset or reload: prefers-color-scheme, prefers-reduced-motion, print mode,
execute_jswrite actionRun JavaScript in the page (MAIN world). Requires the extension's "Allow user scripts" toggle; errors explain setup if disabled.
extractRead repeated non-tabular structures — product cards, list items, search results — as one record per item:
extract_tableRead a real <table> as JSON: thead cells become keys, each row an object. Read-only.
fill_formBatch fill form fields with React-compatible events. Handles input, select, checkbox, radio, and textarea.
find_settingWhere is a setting in an unknown admin panel: follows the panel's menu links (same origin) until a page contains the keyword and
find_textFind text on the page: parent selector, context, visibility, position per match. Attaches nearby interactive elements (with refs for click/type_text/hover) for the first visible match.
full_page_screenshotFull-page capture by scrolling: stitched segments of ~2 viewports (≤1568px), or one image per viewport with stitch=false.
get_framesList frames (main + iframes) with frameId, parent, URL — for the frame_id parameter of DOM tools.
get_interactivesList actionable elements (buttons, links, inputs, [role], [onclick]) with ready-to-use CSS selector, label, position, flags. Prefer this over dumping HTML to discover selectors.
get_page_infoGet page metadata: meta tags, scripts, stylesheets, links, and forms
get_statusCheck bridge status: extension connection, server mode (primary/relay), port, version
get_storageRead localStorage, sessionStorage or cookies of the current origin (type=all for every one). Read-only.
get_tabsList every open tab with id, url, title, active flag and mine (created by this session). Read-only. Find a tab_id when the implicit
handle_dialogsAuto-accept/dismiss future JS dialogs (alert/confirm/prompt), logging them. reset restores native dialogs and returns the log.
handoffHand the browser to the user for what only a person can do — 2FA, CAPTCHA, login, a choice — and wait: a banner in the page shows your
hoverHover over an element (mouseenter/mouseover), by CSS selector or ref.
http_authSet/clear credentials for HTTP Basic/Digest auth dialogs (browser-wide, in-memory only).
http_requestHTTP request sent from the browser, with the logged-in user's cookies: fetches what a server-side request gets a login page for
inject_cssInject a CSS rule into the page. Stays until the next navigation or reload, and re-injecting the same id
manage_downloadsList downloads, start one, or wait for the newest to finish. Files land in the browser Downloads folder, not on the server.
measure_spacingMeasure the gap, overlap and distance in CSS pixels between two elements, with their margins and paddings.
modify_domChange an element in the live DOM: setAttribute, removeAttribute, addClass, removeClass, setStyle,
monitor_networkMonitor network requests. source=page: XHR/fetch hook (installed on first call); source=browser: all requests incl. static assets; source=websocket: connections and messages. format=har exports HAR 1.2.
move_tabMove an existing tab into another window (chrome.tabs.move), keeping id, history and page state; works on chrome-untrusted://
navigateNavigate a Chrome tab to a URL. Returns a preview of interactive elements with refs usable in click/type_text/hover.
network_ruleswrite actionNetwork interception, browser-wide, survives reloads until cleared: block, redirect, set/remove headers, stub a synthetic body, or record real API responses and replay them with forced errors/latency (local helper; from HTTPS pages the stub host must be trusted).
press_keywrite actionSend a key to the focused element (or to selector, focusing it first) as a real keydown/keypress/keyup
query_domQuery DOM elements by CSS selector, returning structure, attributes, bounding rect, and computed styles.
read_consoleRead console messages captured since page load, incl. uncaught errors and unhandled rejections.
read_formRead a form as the user filled it — label, type, value, checked/selected, required-but-empty, browser validity — to check it against the
read_pageRead the page as text (default), markdown, raw HTML, or accessibility tree. Read-only. markdown keeps headings, links and
save_pageSave the full page (DOM, styles, images) as an MHTML archive file on the server filesystem.
screenshotScreenshot of the visible viewport only (PNG), at the current scroll position, or one per viewport preset with presets. Read-only.
screenshot_diffVisual regression: save a named baseline (viewport, element, or a PNG such as the design mockup) and compare later — changed-pixel % and a red-highlighted diff; or compare_urls: production vs staging in this tab, pixels plus text diff, logged-in pages included. Baselines are in-memory (lost on service worker restart).
scrollScroll. action=to: once to element/coordinates; action=until: repeatedly until element visible, network idle, or no new content (infinite scroll).
session_fixtureSnapshot localStorage, sessionStorage and cookies of the current origin into a named fixture (a logged-in state, usually),
session_recordRecord the commands of this session as a replayable jsonl (chrome-bridge replay --file <path>); observe what the user does in a tab ("watch how I do it") into the same format plus a readable procedure, never recording sensitive values; export a recording as a Playwright test for CI. Replays target the tab they navigate.
set_geolocationwrite actionOverride navigator.geolocation with fixed coordinates (page-level patch). reset restores native.
set_storagewrite actionWrite, delete or clear a localStorage/sessionStorage key, or a cookie with its path, domain and expiry.
tab_actionTab lifecycle: close, activate, reload, back, forward, discard, mute, duplicate, close_session (only tabs this session created).
tile_windowsTile Chrome windows over one monitor in equal parts with no gap. Only Chrome windows. The monitor is the one of a
track_eventsDecode the tracking beacons the page fired (GA4, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Microsoft Ads, GTM, Hotjar, Clarity)
type_textwrite actionPut text into an input, textarea or contenteditable, by selector or ref. Replaces the whole value through the
upload_filewrite actionSet a file on input[type=file] from the server filesystem via DataTransfer (max 10MB).
viewport_resizeResize the Chrome **window** to a preset (mobile 375x812, tablet 768x1024, desktop 1440x900) or explicit dimensions;
wait_forBlock until a condition holds: element, text, function (JS expression; needs the "Allow user scripts" toggle),
watchKeep watching a page in the background — "tell me when the pipeline is green / the Approve button appears / this number changes" —
watch_domWatch DOM mutations (MutationObserver). First call installs the watcher; later calls read accumulated mutations.
window_layoutwrite actionSave the current window arrangement under a name, restore, list or delete. save overwrites silently. Window ids do not survive
