Keep browser work observable

Browser access is most useful when the person can see the target, understand the next action, and keep sensitive or consequential steps behind an explicit confirmation.

Name the exact target

A bounded browser task names the site, page, record, and intended outcome. Broad instructions such as “handle everything” make it harder to notice when the agent leaves the useful path.

Pause before consequences

Sending, publishing, purchasing, deleting, changing access, and accepting legal terms stay behind a clear human confirmation even when the navigation that precedes them is routine.
