feat(mcp): add a snapshot agent tool - #414
Conversation
One read-only call returns a bounded summary of everything the server knows about a page: components, route, navigations, HTTP calls, errors, console, forms, signals, stores and queries. It reuses each full tool's formatter, so masking stays the same, and skips sections whose inspector is off. Refs #372.

276-276: Add the untrusted notice before the NgRx store text in the snapshot.
inspectSignalStoreTextreturns live NgRx state with no untrusted notice. Indevframe.ts, theinspect-signal-storehandler wraps it inwithUntrustedPreamble. The snapshot adds only one notice, at the top of the answer, so the store text still sits behind that notice. That part is safe. Thestoressection has a second problem. The Redux part goes throughwithoutNotice, but the NgRx part does not, so the NgRx state never gets its specific "Live NgRx state" label. This is a consistency gap only. The leadinguntrusted(head)covers every section. No change is required.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Add TanStack Query to the list of snapshot sections.
The
snapshottool also returns aqueriessection for TanStack Query. Line 15 leaves it out of the list. Because of this, an agent can conclude that the snapshot has no query state.Proposed fix

The pangular-inspector skill listed every snapshot section except queries, so an agent could think the snapshot has no query state.

What and why
The "snapshot-everything export tool" item from #372.
An agent that wanted the whole picture of a page, or something to attach to a bug report, had to call ten tools.

A cut answer says what it left out and how to ask for it withsections.sections,limit,maxChars, andpage/pageIdlike the other page tools. Unknown section names are reported back.It is a shared tool that filters its own sections, so it does not use the
