What librecrawl_stop_crawl does on Librecrawl Technical Seo Audit
AI agents invoke librecrawl_stop_crawl to trigger actions in Librecrawl Technical Seo Audit. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
