Tools in 0.0.83
The pin is the SHA-256 of the tool's name, description and input schema, as verfy.lock records it. The same pin in your lock means your agent reads this exact definition.
| Tool | Description | Pin |
|---|---|---|
| browser_close | Close the page | 6baef26ea2a4 |
| browser_resize | Resize the browser window | 5ea47d50cd2d |
| browser_console_messages | Returns all console messages | 82f3422ede71 |
| browser_handle_dialog | Handle a dialog | 807a759bbb7e |
| browser_emulate_media | Emulate CSS media features for the page, for example switch between the light and dark color scheme. Omitted parameters are left unchanged; null clears an override. | 4632b2cd556a |
| browser_evaluate | Evaluate JavaScript expression on page or element | c83574f66833 |
| browser_file_upload | Upload one or multiple files | 742d88bcde29 |
| browser_drop | Drop files or MIME-typed data onto an element, as if dragged from outside the page. At least one of "paths" or "data" must be provided. | 281b6b35addb |
| browser_find | Search the accessibility snapshot of the current page for text or a regular expression. Returns matching snapshot nodes with a few lines of surrounding context (like search snippets), each shown under its path from the root of the tree, which is cheaper than capturing the whole snapshot when you only need to locate an element and its ref. | d9c7b5a53c38 |

| browser_navigate_back | Go back to the previous page in the history | 8644dd166ff7 |

| browser_run_code_unsafe | Run a Playwright code snippet. Unsafe: executes arbitrary JavaScript in the Playwright server process and is RCE-equivalent. | 65056ab07773 |
| browser_take_screenshot | Take a screenshot of the current page. You can't perform actions based on the screenshot, use browser_snapshot for actions. | 05253419c7ce |
