Web Task tools (8, 3 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
webtask_create_sessionwrite actionCreate 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_sessionFetch one saved session including recent task history. Use this to inspect continuity context before reusing a session in a new run.
webtask_get_taskFetch one persisted task run with step history and artifact paths. Use this to inspect an earlier run instead of starting a new task.
webtask_healthQuick health check for the MCP runtime. Use this only to verify the server is alive, not to inspect tasks or sessions.
webtask_list_recipesList promoted starter recipes for common browser-task flows. Use this before a run when you want to see reusable guided paths.
webtask_list_sessionsList saved sessions with browser-state continuity metadata. Use this when you need to find an existing session to reuse or inspect.
webtask_runwrite actionStart 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 actionUpdate saved session metadata like name, profile, notes, or default start URL. Use this to adjust continuity defaults without creating a new session.
