browser-forms

Browser forms, comments and long pages

Mac MCP has one-action shortcuts for the browser work agents repeat most. Use them instead of observing and acting one field or one step at a time.

Fill a form: one browser_act action

1. browser_observe the tab once. When it sees form fields it returns fill_template, a ready {type:'fill', values:{...}} action with every field label.
2. Put the values in and send it as one browser_act: {type:'fill', values:{'Full name': 'Ada', 'Country': 'Turkey', 'I accept the terms': true}}
   • Text boxes are typed; native and custom dropdowns pick the option; checkboxes and radios take true or false and are left alone when already right.
   • Fields go in order. A field that appears after an earlier choice (country, then state) is awaited.
   • A field that is not found is listed in failed_fields; the others are already filled. Fill only the missing ones next time.
3. Do not press Submit unless the task asks for it.

Post a comment or reply: one action

{type:'post', text:'...'} for the page's comment box, or {type:'post', text:'...', within:'a phrase only that comment has'} for a reply. It opens the reply box with that comment's own Reply button, types, presses the box's submit button and confirms the text is on the page.

• posted: true means it is published.
• POST_NOT_CONFIRMED (posted: null) means the button was pressed but the text did not show up: check the page before posting again; never post twice blindly.

Read a long page or thread

browser_observe reads what is on screen. To read a whole thread, send one browser_act with {type:'scan'}: it scrolls and collects the items in one call.
