```untrusted-server-text
The server marks "writ_scrape" as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), and its words say it reads.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":false,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":false,"openWorldHint":true}; The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

## Deletes or cancels (14)

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

### `writ_browser_act`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs one batch of actions on an open session and returns the fresh page. Each action is an object, e.g. {"action":"click","selector":"#go"}. DRIVE: navigate, click, fill, type_text, select, check, hover, submit, press_key, scroll, back, wait, wait_for. SEE: query_dom, find_text, read_text, count, get_attributes, inspect, list_candidates, get_dom, get_screenshot. NETWORK: capture_network, get_request, rotate_exit. CODE: evaluate_js, search_scripts, read_script. RECORD: extract {variable,script}, api_call, login_post, probe_write, confirm_write. 2FA: twofa {challenge_method}. A value written {{name}} with its real value in `inputs` becomes a workflow input. Each action's arguments: the session's start answer, or writ_help('writ_browser_act').
```

### `writ_browser_cancel`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Closes an open browser session (an open cloud browser bills until it is closed). Unsaved work that did more than visit pages is auto-saved first and the reply names it; discard=true keeps nothing.
```

### `writ_browser_compose`

- 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
Authors the workflow in an open session beyond a recording: named API functions (define_function with a `flow` (preferred in an API build), from a captured call's index, or a lists payload; live-tested as defined; compile_function for an authenticated request), set_inputs, add_steps, test_function, remove_function, remove_step, list. Payload shapes: writ_help('writ_browser_compose').
```

### `writ_browser_save`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Saves the open session as a replayable workflow and closes the browser, in the place its browser ran: the user's desktop library or Writ Cloud. Composed functions become callable API functions, declared inputs become its parameters. The answer carries the steps, the inputs and a run_example; the workflow runs at zero AI cost through writ_run_workflow. A save that references something no run could resolve is refused with the reasons, and the browser stays open.
```

### `writ_browser_use`

- 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
A REAL CLOUD BROWSER FOR A TASK ON A SITE: the user's signed-in account (a persona_id from writ_personas: the password stays sealed in Writ, and sessions never ask for a password), a click, form, submit or search inside an app, or a page a plain fetch cannot open (login wall, 403, CAPTCHA). Opens the browser and returns the first page; writ_browser_act drives it (Writ runs no model here). Recording is always on: writ_browser_save turns the session into a workflow that replays without a browser, writ_browser_cancel closes it (an open browser bills). The start answer carries the action vocabulary, the recording rules and, with a persona, the 2FA rules. NOT FOR: reading pages (writ_scrape). An API: writ_website_to_api opens this same browser, bound to a build.
```

### `writ_crawl_site`

- 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
COLLECTS a site or a section into a queryable, change-tracked dataset (one row per page). Scope: intent (a section, in plain words), rank_cap=N (the top N items of a listing), seed_urls (known pages), or the whole site capped by page_budget. Modes: markdown (default, no AI), extract_mode='schema' (uniform records), executor='ai' + extract_prompt (per-page understanding, 5x the page rate). A bounded crawl answers with its rows; an open one returns a crawl_id for writ_crawl_status wait=true. NOT FOR: reading a few pages now (writ_scrape). Every option: writ_help('writ_crawl_site').
```

### `writ_create_http_extraction`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Drafts or revises a multi-request browserless HTTP extraction (loops, GraphQL, cursor pagination) from captured requests and a plain-language goal. Every option: writ_help('writ_create_http_extraction').
```

### `writ_payment`

- The name "writ_payment" says "payment": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Pays on a site with one of the user's cards; card numbers never reach this conversation. request (site, max_amount, purpose) returns a tell_user and an open_url where the user approves; wait (grant_id or confirmation_id); checkout pauses at the order button for the user's confirmation, then Writ places the order; fill; list (card handles only). Details: writ_help('writ_payment').
```

### `writ_record_website`

- 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
Records a repeatable task on a site as a workflow (goal + start url): the same session as writ_browser_use, labelled with its goal, driven with writ_browser_act and saved with writ_browser_save. A goal that asks for an API opens as a writ_website_to_api build instead: the same browser, bound to the build.
```

### `writ_run_workflow`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Runs a saved workflow by workflow_id or name and returns its extracted data (it waits by default). Inputs go as top-level fields or under `inputs`; function_name runs one function of a multi-function API (with the sign-in it needs). max_age reuses a recent result at no cost. A write function previews with mutation_mode='dry_run'. Runs sign in as the workflow's persona or persona_id; no password is ever passed. Venue, network, files and output shape: writ_help('writ_run_workflow').
```

### `writ_set_schedule`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Schedules a saved workflow: every_minutes, or kind='daily'/'weekly' with time (HH:MM) and days. functions + inputs schedule chosen functions of a multi-function API.
```

### `writ_update_saved_crawl`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Inspects or changes a saved crawl's settings in place.
```

### `writ_update_workflow`

- The name "writ_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
Inspects or edits a saved workflow: an outline, one function's source, targeted function or step edits, a settings patch. copy_to keeps a linked copy on Writ Cloud or the user's desktop. Every option: writ_help('writ_update_workflow').
```

### `writ_website_to_api`

- 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
TURNS A WEBSITE INTO A CALLABLE API (named functions with inputs, returning JSON), built by the caller in a real browser. url = the page that already shows the rows (search results or a listing, not the home page); goal = the inputs and fields wanted. The call first proposes the user's matching saved workflows and marketplace APIs (skip_existing / skip_marketplace build fresh), then opens a cloud browser bound to the build: capture_network records the site's own calls, writ_browser_network reads them, api_call probes them; a failed probe is evidence, not the end. Functions: HTTP flows first (writ_browser_compose define_function `flow`; writ_help('http_flows')), single requests (from_index) mixed in, DOM extraction last. writ_browser_save, then run_example on two inputs. mode=intelligent: Writ builds it alone (+ writ_discovery_status wait=true), on request.
```

## Can't be undone (3)

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

### `writ_create_automation`

- The name "writ_create_automation" says "create": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.recipients): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Creates an automation: on an event (a workflow or crawl completed, a monitor change, a webhook, a schedule) it runs a workflow, sends a notification templated over the event's data, and/or wakes an AI agent. Event, template and webhook options: writ_help('writ_create_automation').
```

### `writ_expose_workflow_api`

- The description's first verb is "publish": a word for a change that another call does not undo.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Publishes a saved workflow as a REST endpoint (a POST URL that waits and returns its JSON). Repeated calls reuse it.
```

### `writ_wire_monitor`

- The input addresses people (input.recipients): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Connects a monitor's change_detected event to an action: action='notify' (channels and recipients the account has configured), 'workflow' (runs a saved workflow), or 'ai_task' (an AI agent opens the page and works `prompt`). A price watch takes `threshold` (+ threshold_op): the action then runs once, when a check reads a price at or below it. Buying at a price (`buy`): writ_help('writ_wire_monitor').
```

## Changes things (13)

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

### `writ_browser_ask_user`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Hands an open session to the Writ user: kind='captcha' (they complete a security check in the live browser), 'twofa' (they supply the one-time code and Writ types it; the code never reaches this conversation), 'sign_in' (they sign in on the live page; no persona applies) or 'question' (their text answer). The call that opens the ask returns at once with user_link + tell_user to relay; later calls hold up to 60 s and answer answered, waiting_for_user (the same call again) or expired. Their answer is kept if your turn ends first.
```

### `writ_browser_context`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Re-reads an open session: section=page (url, fields, buttons, cleaned DOM), lists (the page's repeating rows with a live-tested define_function payload for writ_browser_compose), map (the evidence of the build the session is bound to).
```

### `writ_browser_live_view`

- The name "writ_browser_live_view" says "view": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The live browser card's own access: the card ChatGPT and Claude show under writ_browser_use and writ_record_website calls it to read the session's state and get one-time passes for the session's screencast and its take-over channel. The user watches the page in the card and can take it over there. It is not part of a conversation's work.
```

### `writ_crawl_files`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The original files (PDFs, office documents, images, CSVs) a crawl captured, with short-lived download URLs.
```

### `writ_create_monitor`

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

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WATCHES a page for changes: Writ checks it on a schedule and fires change_detected when the page, a CSS selector's text, a value read by `extract`, or a visual zone changes. Returns the monitor_id that writ_wire_monitor connects to an alert, a workflow or an AI task (a price watch takes a threshold there). Without `interval` the answer is needs_input: this plan's options and a tell_user for the user, nothing created. The page is read first: a sign-in answers needs_persona, a bot check offers use_residential.
```

### `writ_devices`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The user's linked Writ desktops: list, use (scope this connection to one: runs, browsers, personas and monitors then target it), clear, monitors, datasets.
```

### `writ_export_data`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Exports a workflow's full data table as CSV or JSON.
```

### `writ_help`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The full reference of any Writ tool (every parameter and its rules) and the complete guide. topic = a tool name (e.g. 'writ_browser_compose', a 'run_<workflow>' tool), 'guide' for the manual (recurring digests, HTTP flow building, buying on a price, crawl and build modes), 'actions' / 'recording' / '2fa' for the browser rules, 'http_flows' / 'flow_operators' for writing an HTTP flow, or empty for the list of topics.
```

### `writ_personas`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
The user's own accounts on websites (personas): how Writ signs in as them. No password passes through this tool or the conversation, and its answers never ask for one: credentials are typed only into a Writ window. action='list' domain=<site> shows the personas usable there; with none it answers persona_needed: a tell_user for the user, a create_url (a small Writ window with only the sign-in form, pre-filled for the site) and a link_id. action='wait' link_id=<id> is one held call that answers when the user saves it, with its persona_id. Also get, request (a link for another account), sign_in (refresh the session) and record_login. A persona_id works on writ_scrape, writ_crawl_site, writ_browser_use and writ_run_workflow; a desktop persona ('device:...') signs in on that desktop, from its own vault.
```

### `writ_pin_workflow_tool`

- The name "writ_pin_workflow_tool" says "pin": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `writ_run_saved_crawl`

- The name "writ_run_saved_crawl" says "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text

```

### `writ_scrape`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.
- The server marks it as not read-only (readOnlyHint: false).
- Findings: warn annotation-conflict

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
READ PAGES NOW, no browser session: one page (url), up to 20 pages in parallel (urls), or a listing plus its top N item pages (url + top_n). Returns clean markdown in 2-10 s, including pages a plain fetch cannot read: rendered by JavaScript (render_mode='browser'; a read that only got the page's shell says so and gives the retry), behind a bot wall or 403 (an automatic residential retry), or behind the user's sign-in (persona_id). Discussion threads keep their comments. format='html' returns the raw HTML for selectors. NOT FOR: a site-wide dataset (writ_crawl_site) or clicking and typing (writ_browser_use).
```

### `writ_workflow_runs`

- The name "writ_workflow_runs" says "run": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Searches (operation=search, query, method) or reads in full (operation=detail, index) the backend requests the page made after capture_network: the site's real API. writ_browser_act api_call probes one with other values (a `flow`: several requests); an index feeds writ_browser_compose define_function from_index.
```

### `writ_browser_sessions`

```

### `writ_diagnose_http_workflow`

- The description's first verb is "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

### `writ_discovery_status`

- The name "writ_discovery_status" says "status": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```

### `writ_saved_crawl_data`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:
