Open a website, fill a form, click buttons, take a screenshot, print a page to PDF, scrape or extract page content, test a web app, log in, or automate any browser interaction. Trigger when the user asks you to browse, visit, navigate, interact with, or automate a web page — or to turn a page or an HTML artifact into a PDF.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# web-browse

Drive a real browser through the `agent-browser` CLI.  Every task follows the
same four-step loop:

1. **Open** — `browser_open <url>` to navigate to the target page.
2. **Snapshot** — `browser_snapshot` to get the accessibility tree with
   compact `@eN` element refs (e.g. `@e7`).
3. **Act** — use an `@eN` ref (or a CSS selector) with `browser_click`,
   `browser_fill`, `browser_type`, `browser_press`, etc.
4. **Verify** — run `browser_snapshot` again (or `browser_get_text`) to
   confirm the action succeeded; repeat steps 3–4 until done.

When finished, call `browser_close` to free the browser session.

Text that starts with a dash and a letter (like `--foo`) is refused by `browser_fill`
and `browser_type`: the CLI would read it as one of its own options. Set such a value
with `browser_eval` instead. Negative numbers, `-$50.00`, list bullets and a lone `-`
are fine.

## Filling forms

Real application forms (Greenhouse, Ashby, Workday) re-render as you touch them, and a
plain snapshot/`@eN`/type+Enter loop fails on them — refs go stale, custom widgets eat
synthetic clicks, and comboboxes commit the highlighted row instead of the one you meant.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add protolabsai/protoagent/web-browse@sha256:c5c229402fc850b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.5840202, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
