Web Tools

Web tools are disabled by default. Enable them in Settings → Network Access.

Even when enabled, write-capable tools (Playwright) still require permission approval in ask mode.

WebFetch

Fetches a URL and returns the page content as Markdown.

{"tool": "WebFetch", "input": {"url": "https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html"}}

HTML is converted to Markdown for a compact representation. Useful for reading documentation, API references, or any public web page.

WebSearch

Searches the web and returns a list of results with titles, URLs, and snippets.

{"tool": "WebSearch", "input": {"query": "python asyncio gather vs wait"}}

Returns up to 10 results. Each result includes title, URL, and a short description.

Playwright

Controls a headless Chromium browser for JavaScript-rendered pages, form submission, or UI testing.

{
  "tool": "Playwright",
  "input": {
    "action": "navigate",
    "url": "https://example.com"
  }
}

Supported actions: navigate, click, type, screenshot, get_text, evaluate.

Installing the browser

The first time you use Playwright, install the Chromium binary:

.venv/bin/playwright install chromium

Or from the app: send {"type": "install_browsers"} via the sidecar protocol.
