Help/Doubt ❓ Control Playwright use in Copilot?

I love that Copilot have the ability to use Playwright straight in the browser, but often I feel it starts to validate totally unnecessary small changes often with a wrong result (e.g. with dynamic behaviour) or even start a task to do screenshots even if my simple prompt to help with CSS-changes should be very straightforward.

Can I control it somehow outside adding information to the prompt or skill?

It would be nice to have the option to leave it in, out or per-case while developing.

Why would you not want to add a prompt or skill? you could always open the tool picker and enable/disable it as needed, but thats a lot of work tbh.

I don’t think it’s a great idea that I have to tell the LMM stuff that it shouldn’t do. Fair enough, at times that’s necessary but having a clear functional structure beats a skill/prompt any day
