Microsoft makes Foundry browser automation tool generally available
Overview
Microsoft says its browser automation tool in Microsoft Foundry is now generally available, letting agents navigate websites, complete forms, and run multistep workflows from natural-language instructions.
The tool runs on Playwright Workspaces, which must be provisioned separately as an Azure resource. Developers can attach it to prompt or hosted agents through a toolbox's MCP-compatible endpoint. Microsoft says the agent environment needs no browser binaries or browser infrastructure. Private sites behind an Azure virtual network can be reached, and Live View, Take control, and approval controls cover state-changing actions.
