Remote Browser
Purpose
Use a remote or hosted browser endpoint for agent automation when the runtime exposes remote-browser tools: navigate, interact, and observe without assuming a local Chrome instance.
When to Use
- Experimental agents configured for remote browser tooling.
- Hosted browser sessions distinct from Browserbase MCP branding.
When NOT to Use
- Browserbase MCP → browserbase.
- Local agent-browser / computer browser tools when those are the bound surface.
- Product demo producer flows →
demo_*/ product-demo.
Expected Outcome
- Remote session established before actions.
- Observations come from tool output only.
- Clear errors when the remote browser is unavailable.
Workflow
- Verify remote browser tools are present.
- Create or attach to a remote session.
- Navigate and act using tool schemas; never invent endpoints.
- Return titles, text, or screenshots from tool results.
Safety and Boundaries
- Treat remote session credentials as secrets.
- Do not exfiltrate page content beyond the user task.
