AI Task nodes can be equipped with a wide range of capabilities. Each capability unlocks additional tools the agent can use during execution. We suggest starting with the default capabilities, and enabling additional ones when strictly needed.
API Tool Identifiers — When configuring AI Task node tools via the API or MCP server, use the snake_case identifiers listed below each tool. You can also call the listAvailableTools MCP tool or GET /agents/available-tools API endpoint to discover all available tools programmatically.

​
Web Browsing Essentials

Core tools for basic navigation and DOM interaction.

Go to URL

Navigate the browser to any URL (go_to_url)

Refresh Page

Reload the current webpage (refresh_page)

Basic Web Interaction

Click, type, select elements, and interact via the DOM (dom_browser_interaction)
Critical: Basic Web Interaction is RequiredBasic Web Interaction is enabled by default and should always remain enabled for AI Task nodes. This capability provides essential tools for clicking, typing, selecting elements, and interacting with the DOM.
  • Disabling Basic Web Interaction will prevent AI Task nodes from performing basic browser interactions
  • You should not disable this capability unless you have a very specific reason
  • This capability is part of the default “Web Browsing Essentials” set and is required for AI Task nodes to function properly
