Implements dynamic snapshot configuration that MCP clients can control during
sessions without requiring server restarts or CLI changes.
New tool: browser_configure_snapshots
- Configure includeSnapshots, maxSnapshotTokens, differentialSnapshots at runtime
- Changes take effect immediately for subsequent tool calls
- Shows current settings when called with no parameters
- Provides helpful tips and usage guidance
Key improvements:
1. **Runtime Configuration**: Update snapshot behavior during active sessions
2. **Client Control**: MCP clients can adapt to different workflows dynamically
3. **Immediate Effect**: No server restart required - changes apply instantly
4. **State Tracking**: Context maintains current session configuration
5. **User Friendly**: Clear feedback on current settings and changes
Updated tool descriptions:
- All interactive tools now mention "configurable via browser_configure_snapshots"
- Removed references to CLI-only configuration
- Enhanced browser_snapshot description for explicit snapshots
Benefits for users:
🔄 Dynamic configuration without restarts
🎛️ Client-controlled snapshot behavior
📊 View current settings anytime
⚡ Instant configuration changes
🎯 Adapt settings per workflow/task
Example usage:
```json
{
"includeSnapshots": false,
"maxSnapshotTokens": 25000,
"differentialSnapshots": true
}
```
This transforms snapshot configuration from static CLI options into a flexible
session management system that adapts to client needs in real-time.
