## Available Parameters
### Core Settings
- `tools`: Registry of [our tools](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/browser_use/tools/service.py) the agent can call. [Example for custom tools](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/tree/main/examples/custom-functions)
- `browser`: Browser object where you can specify the browser settings.
- `output_model_schema`: Pydantic model class for structured output validation. [Example](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/features/custom_output.py)
### Vision & Processing
- `use_vision` (default: `True`): Enable/disable vision capabilities for processing screenshots
- `vision_detail_level` (default: `'auto'`): Screenshot detail level - `'low'`, `'high'`, or `'auto'`
- `page_extraction_llm`: Separate LLM model for page content extraction. You can choose a small & fast model because it only needs to extract text from the page (default: same as `llm`)
### Actions & Behavior
- `initial_actions`: List of actions to run before the main task without LLM. [Example](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/features/initial_actions.py)
- `max_actions_per_step` (default: `10`): Maximum actions per step, e.g. for form filling the agent can output 10 fields at once. We execute the actions until the page changes.
- `max_failures` (default: `3`): Maximum retries for steps with errors
- `use_thinking` (default: `True`): Controls whether the agent uses its internal "thinking" field for explicit reasoning steps.
- `flash_mode` (default: `False`): Fast mode that skips evaluation, next goal and thinking and only uses memory. If `flash_mode` is enabled, it overrides `use_thinking` and disables the thinking process entirely. [Example](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/getting_started/05_fast_agent.py)
### System Messages
- `override_system_message`: Completely replace the default system prompt.
- `extend_system_message`: Add additional instructions to the default system prompt. [Example](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/features/custom_system_prompt.py)
### File & Data Management
- `save_conversation_path`: Path to save complete conversation history
- `save_conversation_path_encoding` (default: `'utf-8'`): Encoding for saved conversations
- `available_file_paths`: List of file paths the agent can access
- `sensitive_data`: Dictionary of sensitive data to handle carefully. [Example](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/features/sensitive_data.py)
### Visual Output
- `generate_gif` (default: `False`): Generate GIF of agent actions. Set to `True` or string path
- `include_attributes`: List of HTML attributes to include in page analysis
### Performance & Limits
- `max_history_items`: Maximum number of last steps to keep in the LLM memory. If `None`, we keep all steps.
- `llm_timeout` (default: `90`): Timeout in seconds for LLM calls
- `step_timeout` (default: `120`): Timeout in seconds for each step
- `directly_open_url` (default: `True`): If we detect a url in the task, we directly open it.
### Advanced Options
- `calculate_cost` (default: `False`): Calculate and track API costs
- `display_files_in_done_text` (default: `True`): Show file information in completion messages
### Backwards Compatibility
- `controller`: Alias for `tools` for backwards compatibility.
- `browser_session`: Alias for `browser` for backwards compatibility.
