Can I trigger a data extraction for a specific URL?

Yes! Use the `run_robot` tool with the Robot ID and the target URL (`origin_url`). Your agent will create a new task in Browse AI to extract the data instantly.

How do I retrieve the data once a robot finishes its task?

Simply ask the agent to `get_task` and provide the Task ID. If the status is 'successful', it will return the JSON structure containing all the captured data fields.

Can I list all the robots I have trained in my account?

Yes. Use the `list_robots` tool. It will retrieve all the approved robots currently available in your Browse AI dashboard, including their names and unique IDs.
