name: web-pilot description: Search the web and read page contents without API keys. Use when you need to search via DuckDuckGo/Brave/Google (multi-page), extract readable text from URLs, browse interactively with a persistent visible browser (with tabs, click, screenshot, text search), download files/PDFs, or dismiss cookie banners. Supports JSON/markdown/text output. Powered by Playwright + Chromium.
