  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why browser_tab_goto is rated High

This tool triggers a browser action (switching tabs) in an automated browser environment. It causes an external operation in the browser session whose effects depend on the argument (tab index). While switching tabs is not inherently destructive or financial, it constitutes a browser automation action that could expose sensitive content in other tabs or facilitate further actions, placing it in the Execute category.

From the tool's own definition: "Switch to a specific tab by index"

## Use case

AI agents invoke browser_tab_goto to trigger actions in Termux Browser Pilot. 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.
