Claude Code: deny. ### `batch_cancel` - The name "batch_cancel" says "cancel": a word for removing or ending something. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Stop a Batch job's current run for good. No task still waiting is started or billed; tasks already in flight finish (and bill). Results so far stay readable with batch_results. Tasks that never started stay pending: batch_rerun (default failed and pending) runs them later. Idempotent: a run that already ended answers with its final status and already_ended:true. To halt without ending the run, use batch_pause. ``` ### `batch_delete` - The name "batch_delete" says "delete": a word for removing or ending something. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Delete a Batch job with all its runs and results, for good. A run in flight stops picking up tasks at once, and the job frees its active-job slot. The job reads as not found right away; storage is cleaned up in the background. Idempotent. To keep the results, use batch_cancel instead. ``` ### `browser_batch` - The description's first verb is "execute": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Execute a sequence of browser actions in a single call against an existing session. Use this when you already know the full sequence of steps — it reduces round trips and is faster than calling each tool individually. Actions run sequentially and stop at the first failure unless stop_on_error is false. Each step result is returned in the results array at the same index. Note: screenshots in batch results are returned as base64 strings inside the JSON; browser_screenshot returns them as images. A batch can include evaluate, so it can change or delete page state the same way browser_evaluate can. ``` ### `browser_clear_cookies` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Clear all cookies for the current browser session. ``` ### `browser_clear_local_storage` - The description's first verb is "delete": a word for removing or ending something. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Delete every localStorage entry in the current page context. ``` ### `browser_evaluate` - The name "browser_evaluate" says "evaluate": a word for a change. - The input takes a statement or command to run (input.script), which can change anything it can reach. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Execute JavaScript in the browser context and return the result. The script can change or delete the session's page state, such as cookies, storage and form data. ``` ### `browser_set_cookies` - The name "browser_set_cookies" says "set": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Set one or more cookies in the browser session. A cookie with the same name, domain and path replaces the existing one. ``` ### `browser_set_local_storage` - The name "browser_set_local_storage" says "set": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Write one localStorage value in the current page context. An existing value under the same key is replaced. ``` ### `crawl_stop` - The name "crawl_stop" says "stop": a word for a change. - The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true). - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. The name "crawl_stop" says "crawl": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "crawl": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Stop a running crawl. No page still waiting is fetched or billed; pages already in flight finish. The URLs kept so far stay readable with crawl_results. A stopped crawl cannot resume. Idempotent: a crawl that already ended answers with its final status. A 429, 502, 503 or 504 is retried up to 3 times, waiting at most 50 seconds in all; a 503 crawl_busy means the stop was not saved yet, and if it persists, CRAWL_BUSY says when to call again. Pages in flight still finish, so coverage and results can keep growing for up to 10 minutes after the stop; read them with crawl_get and crawl_results. ``` ## Changes things (28) Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask. ### `batch_create` - The name "batch_create" says "create": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. - Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.urls): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it. - Findings: warn base64-blob, info long-description Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Submit a Batch job: many URLs scraped asynchronously in the cloud (Zenrows Batch API). Suited to large URL lists; scrape and extract handle single pages. Not the same as browser_batch. Tasks use automatic mode (mode=auto) by default: Zenrows enables JS rendering and premium proxies only on the pages that need them. Pass just the URLs. Set js_render or premium_proxy (job-level, or per task) only to force a fixed configuration; that turns automatic mode off for those tasks. Cost: the same credits as the regular API, per successful task: 1 for a basic request, 5 with js_render, 10 with premium_proxy, 25 with both; mode=auto bills each task at the configuration that worked. Failed tasks are not billed, except target 404 and 410 answers, billed as on the regular API. Limits: up to 100,000 tasks per call; 3 active jobs per account by default, shared with Crawl (BATCH_QUOTA_EXCEEDED past that); a job frees its slot when its run ends. Creates a closed job with every task in this one call. Each task takes a url plus optional external_id, metadata, method/body (POST tasks) and scrape params. Every call sends an Idempotency-Key, so the bounded retries on network errors and 5xx never create a second job; an error reply carries the key to retry with. Returns job_id, status and stats at once; the job runs asynchronously. Then: batch_wait until it ends, batch_results to list rows (paged), batch_content to read one task's page. A run that ends failed (out of credits, inactive subscription, key cap) answers ok:false with error.code and server_code; batch_rerun recovers it. Submits of 10,000+ tasks keep writing tasks for a while (ingesting:true). Errors: BATCH_INVALID_REQUEST (400, server_code and invalid_tasks say what), BATCH_INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS (402), BATCH_KEY_CAP_REACHED (402, this key's cap), BATCH_QUOTA_EXCEEDED (429, job limit), AUTH_INVALID (401; server_code subscription_inactive means fix Billing), BATCH_ACCESS_DENIED (403, do not retry), BACKEND_UNAVAILABLE. Schedules, webhooks, exports, CSV inputs and open jobs are available through the Batch API and SDKs only. ``` ### `batch_pause` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Pause a Batch job's current run: it picks up no new tasks until batch_resume. Tasks already in flight still finish and bill; for a hard cost stop use batch_cancel. A paused run still counts as an active job. Idempotent; a run that already ended answers with its final status and already_ended:true. ``` ### `batch_rerun` - The description's first verb is "start": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Start a new run of a Batch job whose latest run ended (completed, stopped or failed). By default it reruns only the tasks that failed or never started (status ["failed", "pending"]), and carries the others' results over: the recovery after a run that failed on credits or was cancelled. Pass status to pick other task statuses, or full:true to scrape every task again. Rerun tasks are billed like new ones. A rerun of only some tasks works up to 10 days after the run started (BATCH_RERUN_WINDOW_EXPIRED after that; full:true still works). BATCH_NO_MATCHING_TASKS: no task has those statuses. BATCH_RUN_NOT_FINISHED: the latest run is still in flight. Sends an Idempotency-Key, so a retry never starts two runs. Returns the new run at once (it writes its tasks first, ingesting:true); call batch_wait. ``` ### `batch_resume` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Resume a paused Batch run: it picks up its remaining tasks again, billed as they finish. Idempotent on a run that is not paused; a run that already ended answers with its final status and already_ended:true. Needs credits: BATCH_INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS or BATCH_KEY_CAP_REACHED otherwise. ``` ### `browser_check` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Click an element on the page using a CSS selector. ``` ### `browser_close` - The name "browser_close" says "close": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Close a browser session and free all associated resources, including the concurrency slot it holds. ``` ### `browser_drag` - The name "browser_drag" says "drag": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Drag an element from its current position to a target element. ``` ### `browser_fill` - The name "browser_fill" says "fill": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Clear an input field and set its value, replacing what was there (browser_type appends instead). ``` ### `browser_focus` - The description's first verb is "move": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Move focus to an element, triggering focus-dependent UI changes. ``` ### `browser_generate_pdf` - The name "browser_generate_pdf" says "generate": a word for a change. - The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. - Findings: warn annotation-conflict Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Render the current page as a PDF document. ``` ### `browser_go_back` - The description's first verb is "navigate": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Navigate back to the previous page in the browser history. ``` ### `browser_go_forward` - The description's first verb is "navigate": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.

The name "browser_navigate" says "navigate" and "browser": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The description's first sentence says "open" and "browser": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write. - Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Open a Zenrows Browser Sessions session and navigate to a URL. This is the entry point for all browser automation. It creates a new session backed by Zenrows' hosted browser infrastructure and navigates to the given URL in one step. Returns a session_id that every other browser_* tool takes. The session holds one concurrency slot until browser_close closes it. When to use options: - proxy_country: geo-restricted content (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. "US", "DE") - proxy_region: world region for geo-targeted proxy (eu, na, ap, sa, af, me) ``` ### `browser_new_tab` - The description's first verb is "open": a word for a change. - Tag untrusted-input: The server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data. - Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
