      summary: Execute Playwright/TypeScript code against the browser
      description: 'Execute arbitrary Playwright code in a fresh execution context against the browser.

        The code runs in the same VM as the browser, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput.

        It has access to ''page'', ''context'', and ''browser'' variables.

        It can `return` a value, and this value is returned in the response.
