    • Parameters:

      • host: The target host to which the cleaned content will be sent.
      • interval: The time interval (in milliseconds) for checking and sending content (default is 5000 ms).

  2. MentorAI.sendHTMLContentToIframe(iframeId: string, iframeHost: string, interval = 5000)

      );
  3. MentorAI.proxyContextPostMessage(targetIdOrHost: string, host?: string)
