Why it matters

Useful for agent builders and QA engineers who need more reliable desktop control than pixel-matching hacks, especially when workflows leave the browser and move into native apps.

Who should use it

builders creating agents for native desktop softwareQA teams automating non-browser workflowsresearchers testing accessibility-tree control loopsdevelopers who need clipboard and window automation from one binary

Who should skip it

Skip or sandbox it if you cannot review permissions, data access, and failure modes before use.

Risk explanation

It can inspect and operate real desktop apps plus clipboard and keyboard flows, so run it only on machines and accounts you are willing to expose to automation.
