open-browser

When user says "open X in browser", "navigate to X", "open chrome", "browser to X", "switch to tab X", etc.

Rules

• Use ONLY mcp__gateway__browser_* tools — never Python, never CDP direct, never filesystem
• NEVER use wait: "networkidle" — it hangs on SPAs. Omit wait entirely (fire-and-forget)
• Always check tab state before navigating — tab IDs change between sessions
• Do NOT pass session_id — it is injected automatically from agent context

Fast Open Flow

Step 1 — Create/resume session

Call mcp__gateway__browser_create_session with NO arguments (session_id is auto-injected).

Result contains session status only.

Step 2 — Check current tabs

Call mcp__gateway__browser_tabs — returns list of {tab_id, url, title}.

Use this to:

• Know which tab is active / which tab to navigate
• Decide whether to open a new tab or reuse existing one

Step 4 — Navigate (fire-and-forget)

Option A — Navigate active tab (no tab_id):

browser_navigate(url)

Option B — Navigate specific tab:

browser_navigate(url, tab_id="t1")

Option C — Open in new tab:

browser_new_tab()  → returns tab_id
browser_navigate(url, tab_id=<new_tab_id>)

If browser_navigate or browser_navigate_tab returns error like tab "t99" not found (available: [t1, t2]) → call browser_tabs again and pick correct tab_id.

Step 5 — Screenshot and confirm

Call mcp__gateway__browser_screenshot → result is an absolute file path.

Detect channel: api_reply tool available = API session; telegram_reply tool available = Telegram session.

Channel	Action
API	api_reply(files=[result]) — caller receives it as an attachment with a URL
Telegram	telegram_reply(files=[result])
Other	include path in text response
