# Action

> Observe and control apps, browsers, and recordings.

Documentation: https://lattices.dev/action/docs

**First check**

Action owns native observe, resolve, act, and record, private agent layers, and Action-owned browsers. Window tiling and workspaces are Lattices.

Agent guide: [Connect Action to your agent](https://lattices.dev/action/docs/agent-setup.md).

First check (read-only): `lats action status`
Expect: Install, runtime, and agent state. Over MCP, read `capabilities` and `tools/list` and report the native/runtime match before you take control.
