Limitations

Key limitations: Use responsibly and respect site terms; browser automation can trigger risk systems. Respect robots.txt, site terms, rate limits, copyright, authentication boundaries, and anti-bot controls before asking an agent to crawl or extract content. API automation needs client-side throttling, idempotency where supported, pagination limits, retries, and audit logging. Browser automation can be brittle around UI changes, MFA, captchas, policy prompts, and hidden confirmation states.
