41The browser use tool is available on the Claude API and [Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed)](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-models-on-google-cloud/google-managed): add one entry of type `browser_toolset_20260801`, with no `name`, to the `tools` array of a [Messages API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/messages/create) request.
44To use the browser use tool, add one entry of type `browser_toolset_20260801`, with no `name`, to the `tools` array of a [Messages API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/messages/create) request. See [API support](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/browser-use-tool#availability-feature-support) for the supported models and platforms.

15631566## Limitations
15641567
1565* **Platform availability:** Browser use is available on the Claude API and [Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed)](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-models-on-google-cloud/google-managed).
15661568* **Whole-input streaming only:** When you stream, each member’s `input` arrives as one complete `input_json_delta` ([Client toolsets](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/tool-reference#client-toolsets)).
15671569* **Element references are best-effort:** Highly dynamic pages (virtualized lists, canvas-rendered interfaces, pages that re-render on scroll) might not expose stable references, and Claude falls back to screenshots and coordinate clicks there.
15681570* **`read_console` and `read_network` depend on your browser automation:** They report only what it can capture, and only from the moment it attached to a tab.
