Tools (4)

get_tabs

Get all open tabs from Google Chrome browser with unique tab IDs. Each tab has a stable, unique ID that persists across browser operations. Output shows both display format (1-1, 1-2) and Tab ID [Tab ID: 1234567890] for each tab. ALWAYS use the Tab ID number for reliable operations.

close_tab_by_id

🔥 PREFERRED METHOD: Close a specific tab in Google Chrome using its unique tab ID. IMMUNE to tab reordering, window changes, and index shifting. Extract the Tab ID from [Tab ID: 1234567890] in get_tabs output. Example: if tab shows '[Tab ID: 1594670961]', use tabId: 1594670961

activate_tab_by_id

🔥 PREFERRED METHOD: Activate (focus) a specific tab in Google Chrome using its unique tab ID. Brings the tab to the front and makes it active. Extract the Tab ID from [Tab ID: 1234567890] in get_tabs output.

close_tab

⚠️ LEGACY DANGER: Close a specific tab using window/tab index. HIGH RISK of closing wrong tabs due to index shifting when tabs are reordered/closed. STRONGLY DEPRECATED: Use close_tab_by_id instead. Only use if Tab ID is unavailable.
