## Tools

40 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `tabs_list` — List open browser tabs.
- `tab_select` — Make a tab active by tabId.
- `tab_new` — Open a NEW tab (optionally at a URL) and focus it. Prefer this over `navigate` when the user says "open"/"go to" a site — `navigate` REPLACES the current tab. P
- `tab_close` — Close a tab by tabId.
- `navigate` — Navigate a tab to a URL, REPLACING its current page. Acts on the active tab unless tabId is given — to open a site without losing the current page, use `tab_new
- `back` — Go back in history.
- `forward` — Go forward in history.
- `reload` — Reload the active (or given) tab.
- `click` — Click an element. Target by selector, a snapshot ref, or role+name (e.g. role:"button", name:"Sign in") - the locator needs no snapshot first. trusted=true uses
- `type` — Type text into an element (target by selector, ref, or role+name). trusted=true sends real keystrokes (works on React/Vue controlled inputs).
- `select_option` — Select option(s) of a <select> by value or visible label.
- `press` — Press a key (with optional modifiers).
- `hover` — Hover over an element.
- `scroll` — Scroll the page or to an element.
- `screenshot` — Capture a screenshot (page or element). Default is JPEG (quality 70) at CSS-pixel size, which is several times smaller than PNG and reads fine. Pass format:"png
- `get_text` — Get visible text of the page or an element.
- `get_html` — Get HTML of the page or an element. Output is capped (see maxBytes) and cut at a tag boundary; narrow it with `selector` rather than raising the cap when you ca
- `snapshot` — Accessibility snapshot: interactive elements with refs to target by `ref` (more reliable than guessing CSS selectors). Pass diff:true to get only what changed s
- `get_cookies` — Read cookies visible to the tab's URL (or a given url).
- `storage` — Read/write localStorage (or sessionStorage). op: get|set|remove|clear.
- `eval` — Evaluate JavaScript in the page (disabled in safe-mode).
- `wait_for` — Wait for a selector or text to appear/disappear.
- `extract_links` — Extract anchors from the page or a subtree. dedupe=true collapses links sharing an href (nav/footer noise); limit caps the count.
- `read_as_markdown` — Read the page (or subtree) as readable markdown.
- `fill_form` — Fill multiple fields (keyed by selector) and optionally submit.
- `download_file` — Download a file by URL or from a link element.
- `upload_file` — Set local file(s) on a file <input> (target by selector or ref) — uploads without the OS dialog. Requires --enable-uploads. `files` are absolute local paths.
- `frames_list` — List the tab's frames (the top document plus every iframe the extension can reach), with each frame's id and URL. Use it when a selector that should match does 
- `console_logs` — Console output and uncaught errors recorded on the page (requires --enable-observers). This is how you find out WHY a page misbehaved rather than only what it l
- `network_log` — Requests the page made - fetch and XMLHttpRequest with method, URL, status and duration (requires --enable-observers). Set includeResources:true to also list sc
- `dialogs` — Native dialogs (alert/confirm/prompt/beforeunload) the page raised, and how they were answered (requires --enable-observers). With observers on, dialogs are int
- `print_pdf` — Render the page to PDF through Chrome's own print pipeline and save it to the task's results/ dir. Returns the path and size, not the bytes - a PDF is not somet
- `chrome_status` — Report backend/session status: paired browser profiles and how each was named, and flags for switched-off capabilities.
- `auth_check` — Is the tab sitting on a sign-in wall? Reads the page (URL, title, password fields, sign-in controls) and returns { authRequired, confidence, signals }. Use it a
- `profile_use` — Switch the active browser profile (identity). Subsequent downloads, results, screenshots, and the action log are stored under profiles/<name>/. Resets the activ
- `profile_rename` — Rename an automatically named browser profile (e.g. "profile-2" -> "work"). The name sticks across restarts; its saved artifacts move with it.
- `task_new` — Start a new task (run) under the active profile. Creates profiles/<profile>/tasks/<name>/ with downloads/, results/, screenshots/ and makes it the active task s
- `tasks_list` — List every task across all profiles under the data dir, with sizes and download counts.
- `task_status` — Report the active profile/task and the folder paths where this run's artifacts are stored.
- `batch` — Run multiple tool calls in one request — parallel (default) or serial. Each op is { tool, args } and goes through the same policy gate, rate limit, and error ha

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"chrome\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"@mehmoodqureshi/chrome-mcp\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: runs commands; runs on your machine.
- Floor 46, ceiling 74 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
