## What it does

RecordHTML connects AI assistants to a hosted browser capture engine. The server renders live URLs or assistant-generated markup into MP4, WebM, and GIF files. It executes pages inside a full browser environment in the cloud.

The toolkit provides five distinct operations. The `record_html` tool starts the recording pass and outputs a signed download URL. To inspect parameters without spending account quota, the assistant can run `estimate_recording`. The remaining commands (`get_recording`, `list_recordings`, and `delete_recording`) monitor progress, review past recordings, and clear remote files.

No local browser binaries are required. Headless agents will require an API key in the authorization header, as they cannot complete the interactive OAuth prompt. Desktop clients connect via standard HTTP and authenticate through an authorization window.
