## Permissions & File Access
By default, the server only has access to the **OS temp directory** (as defined by Node APIs, `os.tmpdir()`). File-saving parameters (`--filePath`, `--outputDirPath`) and `upload_file` outside the temp directory require unrestricted filesystem access:
```bash
# Start daemon with full filesystem access
chrome-devtools start --allowUnrestrictedPaths=true
```
## Command Usage
```sh
chrome-devtools <tool> [arguments] [flags]
```
Use `--help` on any command. Output defaults to Markdown, use `--output-format=json` for JSON.
- Required arguments are passed positionally; optional arguments use flags.
- Use `--help` on any command for usage details.
- Output defaults to plain Markdown-like text; pass `--output-format=json` for JSON.
## Input Automation (<uid> from snapshot)
```bash
chrome-devtools take_snapshot --help # Help message for commands, works for any command.
