The app_debug() tool gives agents a way to programmatically verify their own work by running JavaScript inside a hidden sandboxed iframe, enabling automated smoke testing of web apps without visible side effects. The invisible-iframe pattern is a concrete technique other builders of agent-driven UI tooling may adopt.

The app_debug() tool renders an app in a hidden iframe (opacity: 0, pointer-events: none) and executes agent-provided JavaScript inside it, allowing the agent to smoke-test functionality and measure element dimensions.
The app_list() tool returns apps the current user has permission to edit, giving agents awareness of what they can modify.
The debug mechanism depends on context.browser_task(), which was added in datasette-agent 0.4a0.
