## Why browser_window_switch is rated High

Switching browser window focus is a browser action/operation that changes the state of a running browser session. It falls under Execute as it triggers an external operation (browser window management) whose effects depend on which window is targeted. It's not merely reading data, nor does it write/destroy data directly, but it performs an active browser automation action.

From the tool's own definition: "Switch focus to a different browser window"

## Use case

AI agents invoke browser_window_switch 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.
