## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `guardrail_response` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...en the browser agent needs human input (credentials, clarification, approval). The response..."
```

- **warn** Annotations that disagree with the tool in `screenshot` ([annotation-conflict](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#annotation-conflict))

```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "screenshot" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "screenshot" says "screenshot": a word for reading.
```

- **info** The word "credentials" in `get_workflow` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credentials".

description: "...flowId or exact title. Read-only; proxy credentials are masked."
```


## Deletes or cancels (12)

Removes, cancels or revokes something. Claude Code: deny.

### `browser_task`

- The description's first verb is "execute": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Execute a browser automation task in a real Chrome browser running in a WebRun cloud environment (docs.webrun.ai). Creates a session, runs the task, and auto-terminates. Best for simple one-off tasks that no saved workflow covers. May navigate, fill forms, and submit data on third-party websites as the task requires. Do NOT use this to run or test a saved workflow — use trigger_workflow instead: only a workflow run carries the workflow's own rules, tracking and memory, so a session run will behave differently. If the user says "run it", "run it once", "test it" or "try it" about a workflow, that means trigger_workflow, not this tool.
```

### `create_session`

- The name "create_session" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a persistent session in a real Chrome browser running in a WebRun cloud environment (docs.webrun.ai), for multi-step interactive work. Returns a sessionId for subsequent commands. With an initial task the browser may act on third-party websites immediately. Do NOT use this to run or test a saved workflow — use trigger_workflow instead: only a workflow run carries the workflow's own rules, tracking and memory, so a session run will behave differently.
```

### `guardrail_response`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Respond to a guardrail trigger when the browser agent needs human input (credentials, clarification, approval). The response is handed to the live agent, which continues acting on it.
```

### `pause_agent`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Pause an active scheduled agent — it stops firing until resumed. Get agentId from list_agents.
```

### `pause_session_task`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Pause the task currently running in a browser session. Resume it later with resume_session_task.
```

### `resume_agent`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resume a paused scheduled agent — recomputes its next run and reactivates it. A completed work-list agent restarts with a fresh full pass. Refuses if the agent's expiry has passed (extend it on the dashboard first).
```

### `resume_session_task`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Resume a previously paused task in a browser session.
```

### `send_task`

- The name "send_task" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Send a new task to an existing browser session (from create_session). The real Chrome browser may navigate, fill forms, and submit data on third-party websites as the task requires.
```

### `stop_session_task`

- The name "stop_session_task" says "stop": a word for a change.
- The description's first verb is "cancel": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Cancel the task currently running in a browser session, keeping the session alive for new tasks.
```

### `terminate_session`

- The name "terminate_session" says "terminate": a word for removing or ending something.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
End a browser session and free its resources. The session and any running task cannot be resumed afterwards.
```

### `trigger_workflow`

- The name "trigger_workflow" says "trigger": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Run a workflow now in its deployed environment. This is the ONLY correct way to run or TEST a saved workflow — a run started here carries the workflow's rules, tracking and memory; browser_task/create_session runs do not. When the user says "run it", "run it once", "test it" or "try it" about a workflow, this is the tool they mean. Drives a real Chrome browser: the run may navigate, fill forms, and submit data on third-party websites as the workflow's prompt requires. Pass values for the workflow's {{variables}} in `variables` (stored variableValues defaults fill any gaps). Returns a sessionId — poll get_task_status for the result.
```

### `update_workflow`

- The name "update_workflow" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Update an existing workflow. Supply workflowId plus only the fields to change: prompt, trigger, schedule, run settings, variables, presentation. Object and array fields are replaced whole; pass null to clear an optional field. Renaming via title keeps the slug stable. The stored schedule stays a saved setting — scheduled agents already deployed from this workflow keep their own timing. promptTemplate follows the same Goal / Ground rules / Stages / Output runbook contract as create_workflow (see that field's description). memoryContract is the exception to whole-replace: supplying its three fields updates them while platform tracking details are preserved.
```

## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `screenshot`

- The name "screenshot" says "screenshot": a word for reading.
- The description's first verb is "capture": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Capture a screenshot of the current browser page in an active session. Returns the screenshot as an inline image. Read-only.
```

## Changes things (2)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `create_agent`

- The name "create_agent" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a scheduled agent — a recurring or one-time automation that runs on a timer in a real Chrome browser. Two modes. WORKFLOW MODE: pass workflowId plus a schedule — the platform copies everything else (prompt, starting URL, output contract, model, proxy, policy, files) from the workflow and bakes your variables into the prompt; results and memory stay centralised on the workflow. STANDALONE MODE: omit workflowId and provide name, prompt (a Goal / Ground rules / Stages / Output browsing runbook — see the prompt field description), and a schedule; the connection's environment is used automatically. Ask the user only what it should do and when it should run, in plain language — pick sensible defaults for everything else and state them; never ask about environments or technical settings. Results are delivered to your connected chat and appear in session history.
```

### `create_workflow`

- The name "create_workflow" says "create": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a new saved workflow. READINESS BAR: if you could not execute the prompt yourself as a human in a browser — which site, which records, which fields, delivered where, matched to each recipient how — it is not ready; first collect the missing business facts from the user (see the TASK INTERVIEW in the server instructions), then create. Requires title and promptTemplate — write the prompt as a browsing runbook following the Goal / Ground rules / Stages / Output contract in the promptTemplate field description. For tasks that must handle each new item exactly once (new messages, forward once, skip seen), memoryContract is REQUIRED — three plain-English fields addressed to the agent: groundRules, memoryInstruction and itemIdentity (see the field descriptions); the platform wires the tracking itself — never write memory or tracking steps into the prompt. Created in the connection's environment automatically — omit environmentId and never ask the user to choose one. Write the user's concrete values (names, URLs, numbers) directly into the prompt; use {{variables}} ONLY when the user explicitly wants a reusable template with per-run inputs. Everything else is optional and defaults sensibly — do not quiz the user about settings. A supplied schedule is stored as a setting only — the workflow does not run on a timer until deployed via create_agent. To run or TEST the workflow, use trigger_workflow ONLY — never browser_task or create_session.
```

## Only reads (6)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `get_task_status`

- The name "get_task_status" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Check the status of a task previously started in a browser session. Use to poll for completion or detect guardrails. Read-only: reports on the task without affecting it.
```

### `get_workflow`

- The name "get_workflow" says "get": a word for reading.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Full detail of one workflow: prompt template, {{variables}} and their defaults, trigger + schedule, run settings (starting URL, timezone, model, proxy, output contract, files), memory state, and any pending logins. Identify by workflowId or exact title. Read-only; proxy credentials are masked.
```

### `list_agents`

- The name "list_agents" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the account's scheduled agents (cron deployments): schedule, status, next/last run, and whether each is standalone or deployed from a workflow. Scoped to the bound environment when this connection has one; pass scope "all" for every environment. Read-only.
```

### `list_environments`

- The name "list_environments" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List available browser environments (persistent profiles) for this account. Returns environment IDs needed for persistent sessions in browser_task or create_session. Read-only. NOTE: workflows and agents use the connection's environment automatically — you rarely need this tool for those, and should not ask the user to choose an environment.
```

### `list_sessions`

- The name "list_sessions" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List all active browser sessions for this account. Read-only.
```

### `list_workflows`

- The name "list_workflows" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List the user's saved workflows (prompt-templated browser automations, docs.webrun.ai). Shows each workflow's title, schedule, {{variables}}, and run stats. Scoped to the bound environment when this connection has one; pass scope "all" for every environment. Read-only.
```
