Can Agent Open Webpages, Click, and Take Screenshots?
Perform explicit page operations in environments that support browser tools.
Browser Operations Differ from Text Extraction
Webpage text extraction is suitable for extracting publicly available text; browser operations can access pages, check status, click, and take screenshots in supported environments, suitable for tasks requiring layout observation or dynamic interaction. Whether Agent can perform these actions depends on the current environment's tool support and connection status.
Do not assume every online task uses a real browser.
Provide Specific Page Targets
For example, "Open a public page, check if the mobile navigation covers content, and save a screenshot." Clearly specifying the status to check, screen conditions, and output is more likely to yield verifiable results than "help me check the website."
For interface issues, provide the page path where the problem occurs and reproduction steps, and request recording of the actual status at each step. Screenshots should ideally indicate whether they were taken before or after the operation; having only the final screenshot often cannot prove whether intermediate interactions occurred as required.
- Confirm the target webpage and allowed operation scope.
- Specify the page state or interactions to observe.
- Request screenshots or actual visible results.
- For submissions or modifications, confirm specific operations first.
Login and Environment Boundaries
The browser used by Agent should not be assumed to have your regular browser's login state; cloud and local environments may see different pages. When captchas, login prompts, or access denials appear, handle them as the website requires; automatic completion is not guaranteed. Even after the page shows success, verify the final status, especially for redirects, uploads, and form submissions.
