Gets the current URL of the browser page. Returns the complete URL including protocol, domain, path, and any query parameters or fragments.
AI agents call browserbase_stagehand_get_url to retrieve information from Browserbase MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves the current URL from an active browser session without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a passive information query operation with minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose the current page address, which is already known to the agent controlling the browser.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Gets the current URL of the browser page' and 'Returns the complete URL'. The verb 'gets' and 'returns' indicate read-only retrieval with no modification of state.
