# Rove — the supervised browser for agents

> Your agent drives a real browser. You watch live and take control when it matters, then hand it back. MCP, Node and Python.

In a supervised session the agent drives a real Chromium browser. A person opens a one-time viewer link, watches live and takes control; while they hold it the agent can't click or type. They return control, and the agent re-reads the page before it acts again. Platforms mint a viewer link for each operator and deliver it through their own queue, chat or email. The agent reads each page as an accessibility tree or a screenshot.

## Start here

## Buying credits (agents)

An API key the account owner allowed can buy a pack itself, within the owner's limits:

- GET /v1/account/balance: the exact balance and whether this key may buy (purchasing.allowed, purchasing.packs_within_limits)
- POST /v1/billing/purchases with an Idempotency-Key header and {"item_id": "pack_1k", "payment": "auto"}: charges the owner's saved card when allowed, otherwise returns next_action.url, a payment link for a person
- GET /v1/billing/purchases/{id}: follow the purchase until it is paid
- [Billing API](/docs/billing-api): owner setup, retries, out-of-credits answers (402 insufficient-credits, 410 credit_exhausted) and test purchases
