The paper introduces WebMRE, an offline benchmark comprising 541 tasks and 5,293 steps extracted from WebArena trajectories, designed to provide deterministic scoring for web agents without live environments. It enables the first systematic study of how guide sentences and grounded actions reinforce each other, showing that jointly decoding a guide improves element selection accuracy and that the guide acts as a causal instruction channel. The authors fine‑tune models that outperform leading zero‑shot baselines on all offline metrics.

Web$hell is a unified interface that consolidates various web access methods—search, browser actions, and filesystem interactions—into a single model for large language model agents. It uses a WebContract schema to compile live webpages into addressable information and action objects, which are stored in a WebCache and manipulated through shared operations. Experiments across search, navigation, and research tasks show that Web$hell delivers strong performance at lower cost, highlighting the role of interface design in enhancing agentic web access.
