Simantak Dabhade b880118d2d feat: add TinyFish as bundled browser automation plugin (#58645)
* feat: add TinyFish as bundled browser automation plugin

Add a default-off bundled `tinyfish` plugin with one tool
(`tinyfish_automation`) for hosted browser automation of complex public
web workflows. Follows the existing plugin architecture pattern.

- Plugin entry, manifest with contracts, config schema, SecretRef support
- SSE stream parser with COMPLETE-terminal, SSRF guards, credential rejection
- Bundled skill with escalation guidance (web_fetch -> web_search -> tinyfish -> browser)
- Docs page, labeler rule, glossary entry, changelog entry
- 21 tests covering request serialization, auth, security, streaming, and error paths

Closes #41300

* plugins: address review feedback and regenerate baselines

- Split API_INTEGRATION into TINYFISH_API_INTEGRATION and CLIENT_SOURCE
  for semantic clarity (Greptile P2)
- Wrap post-finally parseEventBlock in try/catch so trailing malformed
  data does not mask "stream ended before COMPLETE" error (Greptile P2)
- Regenerate config-baseline and plugin-sdk-api-baseline for new plugin

# TinyFish
TinyFish adds a hosted browser automation tool to OpenClaw for complex public
web workflows: multi-step navigation, forms, JS-heavy pages, geo-aware proxy
routing, and structured extraction.
Quick mental model:
- Enable the bundled plugin
- Configure `plugins.entries.tinyfish.config`
- Use the `tinyfish_automation` tool for public browser workflows
- Get back `run_id`, `status`, `result`, and a live `streaming_url` when TinyFish provides one
## Where it runs
The TinyFish plugin runs inside the Gateway process, but the browser automation
it triggers runs on TinyFish's hosted infrastructure.
If you use a remote Gateway, enable and configure the plugin on the machine
running the Gateway.
## Enable
TinyFish ships as a bundled plugin and is disabled by default.
```json5
{
plugins: {
entries: {
tinyfish: {
enabled: true,
},
},
},
}
```
Restart the Gateway after enabling it.
## Config
Set config under `plugins.entries.tinyfish.config`:
```json5
{
plugins: {
entries: {
tinyfish: {
enabled: true,
config: {
apiKey: "tf_live_...",
// Optional; defaults to https://agent.tinyfish.ai
baseUrl: "https://agent.tinyfish.ai",
},
},
},
},
}
```
You can also supply the API key through `TINYFISH_API_KEY`.
## Tool
The plugin registers one tool:
### tinyfish_automation
Run hosted browser automation against a public website.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
| ----------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `url` | Yes | Target public website URL |
| `goal` | Yes | Natural-language description of what to accomplish |
| `browser_profile` | No | `lite` (default) or `stealth` (anti-bot mode) |
| `proxy_config` | No | Object with `enabled` (boolean) and `country_code` (2-letter ISO) |
Return shape:
| Field | Description |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `run_id` | TinyFish run identifier |
| `status` | `COMPLETED`, `FAILED`, or other terminal status |
| `result` | Structured extraction result (when successful) |
| `error` | Error details (when failed) |
| `streaming_url` | Live browser session URL (when TinyFish provides one) |
| `help_url` | Link to relevant TinyFish docs (on error) |
| `help_message` | Human-readable help hint (on error) |
## Good fits
Use TinyFish when the built-in browser is not the best surface:
- Complex public forms with multiple steps
- JS-heavy pages that need real browser rendering
- Multi-step workflows with many clicks and navigation
- Region-sensitive browsing that benefits from proxy routing
- Structured extraction from live browser sessions
Prefer other tools when:
- A simple HTTP fetch or search is enough (`web_fetch`, `web_search`)
- You want direct local or remote CDP control with the built-in [Browser](/tools/browser)
- You need persistent authenticated browser sessions
## Limitations
- TinyFish targets public web workflows; persistent authenticated sessions are out of scope
- CAPTCHA solving is not supported
- Browser session state does not persist across runs
- Batch and parallel runs are out of scope for the initial bundled plugin
## Example prompts
- "Open example.com/pricing and extract every plan name and price as JSON."
- "Go to example.com/contact, fill the public inquiry form, and summarize what happened."
- "Visit example.com/search, switch the region to Canada, and extract the top five public listings."
