Reference for capabilities the always-on scraping skill leaves out. Pull the section you need; skip the rest.

Capture / archive

• browser_screenshot — viewport or full-page PNG.
• browser_pdf — print-to-PDF of the current page.
• browser_save_mhtml — single-file MHTML archive (DOM + resources).
• browser_get_links — every link on the page.

Network interception & tracker-blocking

• browser_intercept_add_rule — block, redirect, or modify matching requests.
• browser_intercept_list_rules / browser_intercept_remove_rule / browser_intercept_clear_rules.
• Use to block trackers/ads (faster, cleaner scrapes), stub endpoints, or fault-inject.
• Chain multiple interception needs into ONE rule set on the same tab — don't stand up competing interceptors.

Live network monitoring

• browser_monitor_start → browser_monitor_read → browser_monitor_stop — observe requests/responses as they happen (find the JSON API behind a page, watch XHR/fetch).

Event-waiting (expect)

• browser_expect_register → browser_expect_await (browser_expect_cancel to drop) — wait for a specific navigation/request/response/download instead of a blind sleep. Ideal for "click submit, then wait for the POST to complete".

Tabs & frames

• browser_tab_new / browser_tab_list / browser_tab_switch / browser_tab_activate / browser_tab_close — multi-tab flows.
• browser_frame_list / browser_frame_goto — drive content inside iframes.

Sessions: cookies & storage

• browser_cookies_get/set/delete/clear and browser_storage_get/set/delete/clear.
• browser_cookies_persist — keep a logged-in session across runs (set a download/profile path as needed). Treat saved cookies as secrets.

Files

• browser_upload — attach a file to an <input type=file>.
• browser_download / browser_set_download_path — capture downloads to a known dir.

Misc

• browser_set_user_agent, browser_set_stealth_profile — only when a site needs a specific identity; the defaults are already stealthy.
• browser_request — issue a raw HTTP request through the browser context (reuses cookies).
• browser_install_chrome — fetch Chrome explicitly (normally automatic on first open).
