web_read
Web automation · macOS · Windows
Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.
Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.
macOS
Purpose
Reads the current page of a web session so you can reason over it. mode='text' (visible text, default), 'a11y' (compact accessible tree of links/buttons/fields — best for deciding what to click), or 'html' (raw DOM). Returns an explicit no_session error if the session isn't open, and no_page if it hasn't loaded a page — never a silent empty.
Required inputs
No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.
Permissions and confirmation
No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.
- Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.

Purpose
Reads the current page of a web session so you can reason over it. mode='text' (visible text, default), 'a11y' (compact accessible tree of links/buttons/fields — best for deciding what to do next), or 'html' (raw DOM). Returns an explicit error if the session isn't open or hasn't navigated yet — never a silent empty. Output is capped; a note is added if truncated.
