4.8Interview Talking Point

"We drive browsers through the Playwright CLI rather than Playwright MCP. Microsoft's own benchmark shows about 4x fewer tokens — roughly 27k versus 114k for a typical task — because snapshots and screenshots land on disk as YAML and the agent reads only what it needs, instead of every page state being streamed into context. Same Playwright engine underneath, same auto-waiting and actionability. We keep MCP available for sandboxed environments that lack filesystem access."
