## FAQ

### How does DOMShell work?

It maps Chrome's Accessibility Tree to a virtual filesystem, allowing agents to use commands like ls, cd, and grep to browse the web.

### Can I restrict the domains my AI agent accesses?

Yes, you can use the --domains flag to restrict the agent to specific domains.

### Is it possible to use granular tools instead of a single command tool?

Yes, by starting the server with the --granular flag, you can expose 38 individual per-command tools for more precise control.
