return all pages when click web element

Open kober-basket opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

Description of the bug

Clicking an element may open a new page. If the list of pages is not returned, the model cannot perceive that a new page has opened and will therefore assume that the click action did not take effect. Returning the list of open pages can effectively solve this problem.

Related to https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp/issues/243 but slightly different flavour of a navigation resulting in a new window

I think this needs to be optional, not every click results in a reload of the whole tree and returning the whole tree will just consume tokens like crazy.
