What cherry-browser does
Use the live `mcp__browser__*` tools to operate the browser in this Agent Session's right pane. Read their current schemas; names may be adapted by the runtime. If these tools are missing, explain that the user can enable Agent control in Browser settings and enable Browser in the Agent’s built-in tools. Per-tool permissions are configured in Browser settings. A skill cannot grant access or override session tool restrictions.
