WHAT IT DOES

What browser_go_back does on Scrapeless Ai Scrapeless

AI agents invoke browser_go_back to trigger actions in Scrapeless Ai Scrapeless. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why browser_go_back needs a policy

This tool triggers a browser navigation action (equivalent to pressing the browser back button), which is an external operation that affects the state of the browser session. It doesn't read, write, or delete data directly, but executes a browser action. The blast radius is low since it only navigates within existing session history.
