Note

Medium Risk
Wide SDK surface with renamed TypeScript params (id_or_name) on nested browser APIs can break typed callers; new WebMCP invoke paths handle untrusted page tool output.

Overview
Release 0.98.0 aligns the Node SDK with API routes that accept a browser session ID or name on /browsers/{id_or_name}/… sub-resources.

Browser helpers that previously took id now take idOrName and hit {id_or_name} paths—covering curl, extensions, telemetry, replays, fs (including watch), process, logs, computer, and playwright. For nested calls (e.g. process kill, replay download, fs watch), param objects rename id → id_or_name, which is a TypeScript breaking change for code that still passes id. browsers.fetch is unchanged and still types the first argument as id only.

This release also adds client.browsers.webmcp with listTools and invokeTool, plus related types, exports, tests, and api.md docs. Playwright execute docs note a webmcp helper in the execution sandbox.

Telemetry destinations JSDoc is updated for organization-scoped vs project-scoped credentials and header redaction behavior. Version manifests, CHANGELOG, and generated tests/examples use the new shapes.
