What it does
Browser Automation is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Web browser automation for tasks requiring UI interaction, login-protected pages, or human-like browsing when APIs are insufficient.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation. The repository describes itself as: Reference architecture for agentic AI chatbots with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Browser automation
Example prompts
- “/browser-automation”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6dd9d13. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
amazon.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Browser Automation loads about 963 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 462 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Web browser automation for tasks requiring UI interaction, login-protected pages, or human-like browsing when APIs are insufficient.
Browser Automation
Available Tools
- browser_act(instruction, starting_url?): Execute browser actions using natural language (click, type, scroll, select). Use
starting_urlto navigate to a page and act in a single call. - browser_get_page_info(url?, text?, tables?, links?): Get page structure and DOM data (fast, no AI). Use
urlto navigate first;text=Truefor full text,tables=Truefor table data,links=Truefor all links. - browser_manage_tabs(action, tab_index?, url?): Switch, close, or create browser tabs
- browser_save_screenshot(filename): Save current page screenshot to workspace
When to Use
Use browser automation when the task genuinely requires it:
- UI interactions: Filling forms, clicking buttons, navigating multi-step workflows
- Login-required pages: Accessing content behind authentication that APIs cannot reach
- Dynamic/JS-heavy pages: Content rendered client-side that plain HTTP requests can't capture
- Human-like browsing needed: Sites that block bots or require realistic interaction patterns
- Scraping structured data: When no API exists and the data must be extracted from rendered pages
Prefer web search or url_fetcher for general information lookup, news, or publicly accessible pages — browser automation is slower and heavier. Reserve it for tasks where simpler tools are insufficient.
Tool Selection
browser_act: UI interactions (click, type, scroll, form fill). Usestarting_urlto open a page and act in one call.browser_get_page_info: Fast page structure check and optional content extraction (<300ms). Useurlto navigate first.browser_manage_tabs: Switch/close/create tabs (view tabs viaget_page_info)browser_save_screenshot: Save milestone screenshots (search results, confirmations, key data)
browser_act Best Practice
- Combine up to 3 predictable steps: "1. Type 'laptop' in search 2. Click search button 3. Click first result"
- Use
starting_urlwhen opening a fresh page:browser_act(instruction='Search for laptops', starting_url='https://amazon.com') - On failure: check the screenshot to see current state, then retry from that point
- For visual creation (diagrams, drawings), prefer code/text input methods over mouse interactions
Show full SKILL.md (177 more words)Show less
browser_get_page_info Best Practice
- Use
urlto navigate and inspect in one call:browser_get_page_info(url='https://example.com', tables=True) - Use
text=Trueto get full page text content (useful for reading article text) - Use
tables=Trueto extract structured table data from the page - Use
links=Trueto get all links on the page (up to 200)
UI Guidance (from tools-config)
Tool Selection:
- browser_act: UI interactions (click, type, scroll, form fill). Use starting_url to navigate and act in one call.
- browser_get_page_info: Fast DOM inspection (<300ms). Use url param to navigate first; text/tables/links params for content extraction.
- browser_manage_tabs: Switch, close, or create tabs.
- browser_save_screenshot: Save milestone screenshots to workspace for documents.
browser_act Best Practice:
- Combine up to 3 predictable steps: "1. Type 'laptop' in search 2. Click search button 3. Click first result"
- Use starting_url when opening a fresh page: browser_act(instruction='...', starting_url='https://...')
- On failure: check the screenshot to see current state, then retry from that point
browser_get_page_info Best Practice:
- Use url param to navigate and inspect in one call: browser_get_page_info(url='https://...', tables=True)
- Use text=True for full page text, tables=True for table data, links=True for all page links
