For tasks that stay inside webpages, the [browser use tool](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/browser-use-tool) is the closer fit: its member tools read and act on the page itself, and it doesn't need a full desktop environment. <Note> - Computer use is available on the Claude API as the `computer_toolset_20260801` toolset, with no beta header; see [Compatibility](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#compatibility) for the supported models. + Computer use is available on the Claude API and [Google Cloud](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-on-vertex-ai) as the `computer_toolset_20260801` toolset; see [Compatibility](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#compatibility) for the supported models. Existing `computer_20251124` integrations keep working, and earlier tool versions remain available in beta for models and platforms that don't support the toolset. See [Migrate from `computer_20251124`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#migrate-from-computer-20251124) to upgrade, or [Earlier tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions) for the beta headers. </Note>
