Tool data and site requests stay separate
Tool input and results are processed in temporary state for the current page. The TabPebble application does not send them to a server, write them to a database, or create processing history. Pages and code still load through ordinary network requests. Your browser may restore a tab, while downloads and clipboard copies remain on the device until you remove or replace them.
