First login
browser_open https://www.xiaohongshu.com opens a session — scan the QR with your phone once. Cookies persist; the agent reuses that login.

Open xiaohongshu.com.
Search "AI workspace".
For top 10 results:

- save into Tables/xhs_notes
- download images to Resources/xhs/<note_id>/Heads up
- Respect ToS — personal research is fine; scraping at scale needs legal review
- Use Hooks to rate-limit browser tool calls
- Don’t republish scraped content as your own
