Check which browser is currently being used for cookie-based authentication.
AI agents call get_browser to retrieve information from Social Video without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only check to determine the current browser configuration. It has no side effects, does not execute commands, does not modify data, and does not move money. The operation is informational only, making it a straightforward Read category tool with low severity since it merely reports existing configuration state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_browser' and description 'Check which browser is currently being used for cookie-based authentication' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying any data or triggering external actions.
