Can my AI start a data extraction and let me know when it finishes?

Yes! You can ask your agent to `run_robot` on a certain URL. The agent receives the newly created task ID and can immediately invoke `get_task` sequentially to poll for completion. Once successful, it calls `get_task_data` to dump the JSON right into your conversation without breaking workflow.

How do bulk operations work natively through the agent?

When you have a trained robot, you can feed the `run_bulk_task` command an array of different URLs. Browse AI's backend splits them virtually into independent task instances. Your agent tracks the bulk run via `get_bulk_task` and eventually pulls the mega JSON merge using `download_bulk_data`.

Is there a risk of my agent suddenly spending all my API credits?

You have complete visibility—the agent can query `list_credits` at any moment to inform you precisely of your available balance and monthly limit. Also, since tools execute your natural directives, your AI agent only triggers extractions you specifically prompt for.
