# Glossary

> Definitions for Webcompute browser infrastructure, runtime, tooling, observations, artifacts, CDP, MCP, and agent harness terms.

## Browser infrastructure

The managed browser layer that lets AI agents browse, inspect, debug, and return artifacts from the web.

## Managed browser

A Webcompute-created headed browser runtime with lifecycle, status, resources, Debug UI, CDP, and optional recording.

## Browser control

The ways an application or agent operates a browser: SDK, CLI, MCP, REST, CDP, and browser-code execution.

## Observation

Bounded page evidence returned after browser-code execution. Used by agents and humans to decide the next step.

## Artifact

A generated file, screenshot, recording segment, or downloaded file associated with browser work.

## Debug UI

A signed live inspection URL for a managed browser.

## CDP

Chrome DevTools Protocol. Used by external frameworks and protocol clients to attach to a browser.

## MCP

Model Context Protocol. Webcompute exposes browser tools to coding-agent hosts through local MCP configuration.

## Agent harness

The optional model-backed Webcompute layer that delegates a whole browsing goal to a configured model.

## Browser-code execution

The deterministic control surface for running focused Playwright-backed code against the active page of a managed browser.
