name: browser-use
description: Automate interactive browser sessions for exploration and scripted UI flows. Use when an agent must navigate pages, click candidates, and observe DOM state via browser automation tools.
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.
