First real task

Prerequisites

Webcompute CLI installed and available as web.
A saved Webcompute API key from web login <key>.
A model profile from web model setup, or one-off model flags from model setup.
A successful first web agent run from the CLI quickstart, so browser, auth, and model setup are already working.

After the quickstart, run a workflow that resembles a real automation: search a public site, open detail pages, and return specific fields.

Run the task

web agent \
  --url https://www.grants.gov/search-grants \
  --allow-domain grants.gov \
  "Search active Grants.gov opportunities for cybersecurity workforce. Return the first 5 opportunities with title, agency, opportunity number, close date, detail URL, and a one-sentence fit summary. Do not apply, log in, or submit forms."

The task includes the site, the search phrase, the result count, the fields to return, and the safety boundary.

Expected result

Cybersecurity workforce opportunities

1. Title: ...
   Agency: ...
   Opportunity number: ...
   Close date: ...
   URL: https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/...
   Fit: ...

Live public sites change. Treat the output as current browsing evidence, not as a static fixture.

Return JSON

web agent \
  --json \
  --url https://www.grants.gov/search-grants \
  --allow-domain grants.gov \
  "Search active Grants.gov opportunities for cybersecurity workforce. Return the first 5 opportunities with title, agency, opportunity number, close date, detail URL, and a one-sentence fit summary. Do not apply, log in, or submit forms."

Use --schema ./opportunities.schema.json when your downstream code needs validated fields.

If the site blocks progress

The agent should return the blocker state and the evidence it can see. Do not ask it to solve a CAPTCHA, submit forms, or invent data. To inspect a run, repeat the task with --debug-url and open the signed Debug UI URL only in a trusted context.

Build from here

Use structured output when a product workflow consumes the result.
Use policies and approvals for domain boundaries and high-impact actions.
Use observe and debug when a run needs evidence.
