Web Viewer Operator

The Web Viewer LOP is a versatile tool for both human and AI-driven web interaction within TouchDesigner. It can function as a standard web browser, a Markdown renderer, and a powerful toolkit for AI agents.

Its key features include:

  • Dual Modes: Seamlessly switch between Navigate mode for browsing live websites and Markdown mode for rendering styled documents from DATs.
  • Robust Navigation: Automatically patches links that would normally open in a new tab (target="_blank") to keep the session contained within the operator.
  • Agent Integration: Exposes a rich set of clearly named functions (e.g., web_navigate_to_url, web_click_element, web_find_elements) via the GetTool standard, allowing AI agents to browse and interact with web pages effectively.

🔧 GetTool Enabled 15 tools

This operator exposes 15 tools that allow Agent and Gemini Live LOPs to perform web browsing and interaction including navigation, element discovery, clicking, form filling, scrolling, and page analysis.

Use the Tool Debugger operator to inspect exact tool definitions, schemas, and parameters.

The web_viewer operator provides one of the most comprehensive tool sets in the LOPs ecosystem, enabling agents to browse and interact with websites just like a human would. Tools include navigation (web_navigate_to_url, web_go_back), page analysis (web_find_elements, web_get_page_info), interaction (web_click_element, web_fill_input), and scrolling (web_scroll_up, web_scroll_to_bottom).
