What browser_links does on Termux Browser Pilot

AI agents call browser_links to retrieve information from Termux Browser Pilot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why browser_links is rated Low

browser_links performs a read-only query of the DOM to enumerate links present on the current webpage. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial actions. The returned data structure {text, href} is passive and informational. This clearly falls under the Read category as a retrieval operation analogous to search or list operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get all links on the current page. Returns list of {text, href}.' This is purely a data retrieval operation with no side effects or modifications to the browser state or external systems.
