## Human Summary
Playwright MCP v0.0.84 introduces multi-session context isolation via isolatedContext , URL parameter redaction, locator support in multiple programming languages, bound find results, and cross-navigation network request history.

## Agent Summary
Playwright MCP v0.0.84 adds several new capabilities to browser tools: browser tabs with action: "new" now supports named isolatedContext parameters; browser find supports maxResults ; browser network requests supports all: true to access retained historical requests; and interaction tools like browser click accept native locators across JS, Python, Java, and C . It also adds flags for redacting runtime URL…

## Body
The Playwright MCP v0.0.84 release introduces multiple new features and fixes for browser automation via the Model Context Protocol. Key enhancements include: - Context Isolation : browser tabs (action: "new" ) accepts isolatedContext , allowing separate browser sessions with isolated cookies and storage under distinct context names (or fallback to "default" ). - URL Param Redaction : The --redact-url-params flag (or PLAYWRIGHT MCP REDACT URL PARAMS ) redacts dynamic parameters (e.g., access tokens, codes) in query and fragment components in tool responses. - Bounded Searches : browser find introduces a maxResults integer parameter to limit response sizes while reporting the total match count. - Cross-Navigation Network History : browser network requests accepts all: true to retain up to 200 requests across page navigations with stable indexes. - Multi-language Locators : Element tools like browser click now support raw locators written in JavaScript, Python, Java, and C , alongside snapshot refs and CSS selectors. - Workspace Root Handling : Added --ignore-roots (or PLAYWRIGHT MCP IGNORE ROOTS=true ) to use the current working directory if a client stalls on roots/list . - Granular Cookie Management : browser cookie delete allows optional domain and path filters. Bug fixes include corrected handling for browser wait for (treating time as a timeout when combined with text conditions), loopback host access defaults for HTTP clients, proxy credential parsing, improved cookie filtering, and graceful browser shutdown on client disconnect.

## Recommended actions
- Upgrade Playwright MCP installations to version 0.0.84.
- Configure --redact-url-params if runtime query/fragment values need masking in tool responses.
- Adopt isolatedContext in browser tabs actions if managing multi-account sessions within the same browser instance.
- Use --ignore-roots if connecting MCP clients that hang during roots/list initialization.
