Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• webtask_auth_capture

  Open a real headed browser window, navigate to a URL, and wait for the user to log in and click the injected Capture button. Returns cleaned HTML with noise elements stripped. Use when the page requires login or returns empty/minimal content for automated fetches. Cookies and session state are stored in the named profile so subsequent smartfetch calls with the same profile reuse the authenticated

• webtask_create_sessionwrite action

  Create a reusable session for browser-state continuity across related tasks. Use this before multiple runs that should share login state, defaults, or recent context.

• webtask_get_session

  Fetch one saved session including recent task history. Use this to inspect continuity context before reusing a session in a new run.

• webtask_get_task

  Fetch one persisted task run with step history and artifact paths. Use this to inspect an earlier run instead of starting a new task; use list_tasks when you need to discover recent runs first.

• webtask_health

  Inspect runtime readiness, planner availability, and local inventory counts. Use this when you need to confirm the runtime is configured before starting work.

• webtask_list_models

  List the catalog-backed planner models and supported thinking variants for web-task-api.

• webtask_list_recipes

  List promoted starter recipes for common browser-task flows. Use this before a run when you want to see reusable guided paths.

• webtask_list_sessions

  List saved sessions with browser-state continuity metadata. Use this when you need to find an existing session to reuse or inspect.

• webtask_list_tasks

  List recent persisted task runs with optional status or session filters. Use this when you need to discover recent runs before fetching one task in detail.

• webtask_runwrite action

  Start a new browser task from a goal and optional URL. Use this when you want the runtime to visit, read, or act on a site now; use session tools for continuity and get_task to inspect a saved run.

• webtask_update_sessionwrite action

  Update saved session metadata like name, profile, notes, or default start URL. Use this to adjust continuity defaults without creating a new session.
