Computer Use

Use this Caplet only when an agent needs explicit access to the local desktop, application windows, or GUI workflows that cannot be completed through APIs or CLI tools.

First Workflow

  1. Identify the target application, window, and desired outcome before interacting.
  2. Observe the screen and report the intended next action before changing state.
  3. Prefer menu/navigation/read actions before typing, clicking submit buttons, or changing settings.
  4. Stop after completing the narrow GUI step the user requested.

Operate Carefully

  • This is a high-risk local-control Caplet. It can operate real applications and expose private screen content.
  • Do not use it for credential entry, payment flows, destructive file operations, account settings, or irreversible actions without direct user instruction.
  • Prefer provider APIs, CLI tools, or browser automation when those can complete the task with a smaller control surface.
