From 693db15281bee5a18870c0b35a469c4f2de2e4c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Adri=C3=A0=20Arrufat?= Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 16:06:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] browser: support markdown scoping and truncation Adds `selector`, `backendNodeId`, and `maxBytes` options to the `markdown` tool. This allows rendering specific subtrees and capping large outputs. Also updates the agent guidance to prefer scoped reads. --- src/agent/Agent.zig | 5 +- src/browser/markdown.zig | 112 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/browser/tools.zig | 49 +++++++++++++---- src/mcp/tools.zig | 29 ++++++++++ src/script.zig | 63 ++++++++++++---------- 5 files changed, 218 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/agent/Agent.zig b/src/agent/Agent.zig index 7e2e6dc7..ac60de3d 100644 --- a/src/agent/Agent.zig +++ b/src/agent/Agent.zig @@ -67,7 +67,10 @@ const default_system_prompt = script.driver_guidance ++ \\- Be decisive: prefer few well-chosen tool calls over probing.
