Browser Use
Purpose
Drive an interactive browser for exploration and scripted UI flows: open pages, act on candidates, and return observations from tool output—without inventing selectors or page state.
When to Use
- Prototype or experimental browser automation agents.
- Navigate, click, type, or wait on dynamic pages through browser-use / agent-browser style tools.
- Capture page state after actions for follow-up reasoning.
When NOT to Use
- Product demo recording on the dedicated demo computer → product-demo /
demo_*tools when that family is equipped. - Cloud Browserbase MCP sessions → browserbase.
- Static HTTP fetch without rendering.
Expected Outcome
- Session started before interaction.
- Actions use tool-returned candidates or explicit approved selectors—never invented CSS/XPath.
- Results summarized from tool responses only.
Workflow
- Confirm browser automation tools are available for the session.
- Start or reuse a browser session; navigate to the target URL.
- Observe returned candidates / snapshot; pick ids from the latest observation.
- Act (click/type/wait) using only ids or hrefs from that observation.
- Summarize outcomes; escalate when auth, MFA, or CAPTCHA blocks progress.
Main tools
Prefer platform agent-browser / remote browser / browser-use MCP tools exposed to the agent. Do not invent tool names.
Safety and Boundaries
- Do not bypass paywalls, CAPTCHAs, or MFA.
- Do not store or echo secrets from pages.
- Prefer read-only exploration unless the user approved writes.
