What page_go_forward does on Mcp Anything
AI agents invoke page_go_forward to trigger actions in Mcp Anything. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why page_go_forward is rated High
This tool triggers a browser navigation action (moving forward in history), which is an external browser operation with side effects that depend on the current browser state. It falls under Execute as it controls browser actions rather than simply reading or writing data.
