on chrome, the extension should be limited to a defined tab group


Currently, the extension only has access to the active tab when the task starts (configurable) and any new tabs it opens — all automatically placed into a dedicated tab group. It won’t touch other existing tabs.

Are you looking for something like scoping the agent to a predefined tab group?


Scoping to a dedicated tab group is a smart approach for sandboxing. The activeTab permission model already limits access nicely, but combining it with tab groups adds a visible boundary that users can actually see and trust. Would be great if Chrome's extensions API gave more granular tab group controls natively.
