Browser Use tools (7, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsget_sessionFreeGet current status and output of a session. Call this repeatedly to poll for task completion. Returns status (created, idle, running, stopped, timed_out, error), step count, output, cost breakdown, and live URL.
get_session_messagesFreeGet the agent messages/steps for a session. Shows what the agent is doing including browser actions, reasoning, and results. Use after= parameter for pagination to get new messages since your last check.
list_browser_profilesFreeList all available cloud browser profiles for the authenticated project. Profiles store persistent authentication (cookies, sessions) for websites requiring login. Use this BEFORE attempting any authenticated tasks. Show profiles to the user and let them choose, then pass the selected profile_id to run_session.
list_sessionsFreeList recent sessions for the authenticated project, with status and cost info.
run_sessionwrite actionFreeCreate a new browser agent session and run a task. This uses the v3 sandbox-based agent that supports long-running sessions, workspaces, and keep-alive. After creating a session, call get_session to poll for status and output. For tasks requiring authentication, use list_browser_profiles first to get a profile_id.
send_taskwrite actionFreeSend a follow-up task to an existing keep-alive session. The session must be in idle status. Use this for multi-turn interactions where you want to reuse the same browser context.
stop_sessionFreeStop a running session. Use strategy "task" to stop only the current task (session stays idle for follow-ups), or "session" (default) to destroy the sandbox entirely.
