Browser login + X/Twitter posting

When a site requires login, sign in manually in the host browser profile (the clawd browser). Do not give the model your credentials. Automated logins often trigger anti‑bot defenses and can lock the account. Back to the main browser docs: Browser.

​
Which Chrome profile is used?

Clawdbot controls a dedicated Chrome profile (named clawd, orange‑tinted UI). This is separate from your daily browser profile. Two easy ways to access it:
  1. Ask the agent to open the browser and then log in yourself.
  2. Open it via CLI:
clawdbot browser start
clawdbot browser open https://x.com
If you have multiple profiles, pass --browser-profile <name> (the default is clawd).

​
Sandboxing + host browser access

Sandboxed browser sessions are more likely to trigger bot detection. For X/Twitter (and other strict sites), prefer the host browser. If the agent is sandboxed, the browser tool defaults to the sandbox. To allow host control: 
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      sandbox: {
        mode: "non-main",
        browser: {
          allowHostControl: true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Then target the host browser: 
clawdbot browser open https://x.com --browser-profile clawd --target host
Or disable sandboxing for the agent that posts updates.
