This change addresses high token consumption during navigation by making
page snapshots optional. Previously, every navigation action would capture
the full page state (DOM structure, console messages) which consumed many tokens.
Changes:
- Add snapshotOnNavigation config option (defaults to false for minimal token usage)
- Add PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_SNAPSHOT_ON_NAVIGATION environment variable
- Add optional 'snapshot' parameter to browser_navigate and browser_navigate_back tools
- Users can override default per-navigation via the snapshot parameter
Usage:
- Default (minimal tokens): No configuration needed
- Enable globally: export PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_SNAPSHOT_ON_NAVIGATION=true
- Enable per-navigation: { url: "https://example.com", snapshot: true }
