Browser automation

Use the browser tool for web tasks. Follow this loop:

Operating loop

1. Check tabs — listTabs if unsure which tab is active.
2. Inspect first — call getPageContent after every navigation or search submit.
3. Search — type with #twotabsearchtextbox or input[name="field-keywords"] (Enter is pressed automatically). Then getPageContent to read the Listings / search results section.
4. Verify — extract or getPageContent after UI changes.
5. Resnapshot — if an action fails, run getPageContent again (DOM may have changed).

Safety

• Set requiresApproval: true before purchases, booking confirmations, or account deletion.
• Call waitForUser before payment confirmation — never enter card numbers.
• If CAPTCHA, OTP, or payment fields appear, pause and ask the user to complete manually.
• In Plan mode, only read-only browser actions are allowed.

Tab management

• open — launch browser + navigate (creates tab)
• newTab / switchTab / closeTab / listTabs — multi-tab workflows
• close — shut down browser when done

Example: compare flight prices

1. browser open → airline or aggregator URL
2. getPageContent → find search form selectors
3. type origin, destination, date fields; click search
4. extract prices from results
5. Compare in your reply; ask user which option to book
6. click continue with requiresApproval: true before final purchase
7. waitForUser at payment step
