Keep browser work observable
Browser access is most useful when the person can see the target, understand the next action, and keep sensitive or consequential steps behind an explicit confirmation.

A bounded browser task names the site, page, record, and intended outcome. Broad instructions such as “handle everything” make it harder to notice when the agent leaves the useful path.
Pause before consequences
Sending, publishing, purchasing, deleting, changing access, and accepting legal terms stay behind a clear human confirmation even when the navigation that precedes them is routine.
