Stealth Research Session

Use this flow only for sites, accounts, and data you own or are authorized to test. Shade's personality controls are opt-in browser compatibility tooling, not permission to bypass another party's rules or security controls.

Claim a slot

browser_claim_slot(session_id: "research-run-001")

Keep the returned slot number and pass it to each later tool call.

Choose personality mode

By default, Shade presents the real Brave fingerprint for better consistency on Cloudflare and Turnstile protected sites. Set SHADE_PERSONALITY=1 only when a legitimate test requires an explicit personality profile, or call:

browser_apply_personality(slot: YOUR_SLOT, personality_name: "regenerate")

Cloudflare caveat: changing user agent and browser Web APIs can make challenge pages less reliable. For ordinary browsing of Cloudflare-fronted sites, leave SHADE_PERSONALITY off.
