      "Version: 1.8.0",
      "includeStackTraces: Boolean; set true to include available stack traces. Increases response size; defaults to false. Stack traces appear as indented frames in text and as a pre-formatted `stackTrace` string in `structuredContent`.",
      "Prerequisite: Use a connected Chrome DevTools MCP server and select the page to inspect; this tool lists messages for the currently selected page since its last navigation.",
      "Stack traces are included only when available.",
