Code Example

"agents": {
    "overrides": {
      "save_memory": {
        "modelConfig": {}
      },
      "browser_agent": {
        "enabled": true
      }
    },
    "browser": {
      "sessionMode": "existing",
      "allowedDomains": [
        "*.com",
        "*.org"
      ]
    }

What happened?

I enabled the browser agent with the following json

"agents": {
    "overrides": {
      "save_memory": {
        "modelConfig": {}
      },
      "browser_agent": {
        "enabled": true
      }
    },
    "browser": {
      "sessionMode": "existing",
      "allowedDomains": [
        "*.com",
        "*.org"
      ]
    }
  }

Even when running gemini in yolo mode, I am forced to constantly approve the use of the agent's tools even if selecting to enable tool or all tools for the session.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect the browser agent to work without requiring manual approval.

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by adjusting the browser_agent configuration to automatically approve tool usage.

Guidance

  • Review the browser_agent configuration to ensure it is set up to automatically approve tool usage, potentially by adding an autoApproveTools option.
  • Verify that the sessionMode is correctly set to existing and that the allowedDomains list includes the necessary domains.
  • Check the documentation for the browser_agent to see if there are any specific requirements or options for auto-approving tool usage.
  • Test the configuration with a different sessionMode or allowedDomains setting to isolate the issue.

Notes

The provided configuration snippet does not include an autoApproveTools option, which might be necessary to automatically approve tool usage. Without further documentation or information about the browser_agent configuration, it is difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the browser_agent configuration to include an autoApproveTools option, if available, to automatically approve tool usage.
