 "page_title": "How to let an agent read and control Chrome tabs with site approval with Lcu",
 "summary": "Enable the official ChatGPT Chrome extension so an agent can list and control tabs, one approved site at a time.",
 "who": "A researcher or operator who wants an agent to gather information from or act within sites already open in their Chrome profile.",
 "problem": "Agents cannot see the tabs you already have open, so routine web tasks need copy-paste between the agent and the browser.",
 "outcome": "The agent lists your Chrome tabs and works on sites you have approved, and it reports what it found.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the official ChatGPT desktop app and enable the official ChatGPT extension in your Chrome profile.",
  "Restart your harness, then restart Chrome or turn the ChatGPT extension off and on in `chrome://extensions`.",
  "Ask your agent to use LCU to list Chrome tabs.",
  "Approve each site when the agent asks for it.",
  "If calls fail with `requires caller identity`, follow the Chrome troubleshooting section of the installation guide."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the amontlabs/lcu repo, enable Chrome control in LCU following the Chrome section of docs/INSTALLATION.md. Ask me to approve one site, then have the agent list my Chrome tabs and summarize the title of the approved site. Verify that no site was accessed before I approved it.",
