Microsoft Adds Browser Automation Tool to Foundry Toolboxes

Microsoft has introduced a Browser Automation Tool for Foundry Toolboxes, expanding the range of actions AI agents can perform across enterprise applications and web-based environments. The tool allows AI agents to navigate websites, interact with browser interfaces and complete tasks that traditionally require manual user input. The capability is designed to help developers build agents that can automate business processes spanning web applications, portals and online services.

The Browser Automation Tool offers an MCP-native Browser Automation Tool in Toolboxes, Playwright workspaces as the infrastructure layer, Live View for issue detection, Take Control for edge cases, support for private browsing, built-in observability and the option to choose an orchestration layer. Hosted agents with Browser Automation Tool also allow you to build end-to-end agents, enterprise-grade systems and human-in-the-loop experiences.

Microsoft said the Browser Automation feature integrates with Foundry Toolboxes, which provide reusable tools and resources for AI agent development. The goal is to simplify how organizations connect AI systems with existing workflows without requiring custom integrations for every application.
