边界 · Computer Use 那条线The Boundary · The Computer Use Line.
元工具不等于万能。Warp 的 agent 强在命令行、文件、脚本、系统这一侧；一旦活儿要去点别的 GUI app —— 你的设计软件、网页后台、本机邮件客户端 —— 那是另一类工具（Claude in Chrome / Operator）的事。Warp 也有 Computer Use，但它是沙箱里、云端的，专门用来让 agent 验证自己写的界面，碰不到你本机。这章把这条线画清楚，也讲哪些活其实普通终端或专用工具更好。A meta-tool is not omnipotent. Warp's agent is strong on the command-line, file, script, and system side; the moment a job means clicking some other GUI app — your design software, a web admin panel, your native mail client — that is another class of tool (Claude in Chrome / Operator). Warp does have Computer Use, but it is sandboxed and cloud-only, built for the agent to verify its own UI, and it never touches your machine. This chapter draws that line — and names the work a plain terminal or a dedicated tool still does better.
前面几章都在说 Warp 能干多少活。这一章反过来：说它不该干的。元工具不等于万能 —— Warp 的 agent 强在命令行、文件、脚本、系统这一侧；一旦活儿要去点别的 GUI app，那是另一类工具的事。这条线画清楚，比再多一个功能更重要。The last few chapters were about how much Warp can do. This one is the reverse: what it shouldn't. A meta-tool isn't omnipotent — Warp's agent is strong on the command-line, file, script, and system side; the moment a job means clicking some other GUI app, that's another class of tool. Drawing this line clearly matters more than one more feature.

元工具不等于万能A Meta-Tool Isn't Omnipotent.
Warp 的主场是终端里的一切；走出终端去点别的窗口，就出界了。Warp's home turf is everything inside the terminal; step out to click another window, and you're out of bounds.命令、文件、代码库、交互式终端程序、MCP —— 这些都在线内，agent 在你真实的终端会话里动手。3注 3Note 3Warp Docs · Agents in Warp —— Warp agent 的能力围绕命令、文件、代码库、终端程序与 MCP；本地 agent 在你的真实终端会话里动手。Warp Docs · Agents in Warp — the Warp agent's abilities center on commands, files, the codebase, terminal programs, and MCP; local agents act inside your real terminal session.但要在你本机的设计软件里调图层、在某个网页后台里一页页点、在桌面邮件客户端里收发，那不是它的能力范围。把它当成「终端里的元工具」，而不是「替你操作电脑的万能助手」—— 这个定位差一格，期待就不会落空。判断很简单：这件事能不能用命令、文件、脚本表达？能，在线内；只能靠点一个非终端的图形界面，出界。Commands, files, the codebase, interactive terminal programs, MCP — all inside the line, with the agent acting in your real terminal session.3注 3Note 3Warp Docs · Agents in Warp —— Warp agent 的能力围绕命令、文件、代码库、终端程序与 MCP；本地 agent 在你的真实终端会话里动手。Warp Docs · Agents in Warp — the Warp agent's abilities center on commands, files, the codebase, terminal programs, and MCP; local agents act inside your real terminal session. But adjusting layers in your local design software, clicking through a web admin panel page by page, sending mail in a desktop client — that's outside its range. Treat it as 'the meta-tool inside the terminal,' not 'an all-purpose assistant that operates your computer' — that one notch of positioning keeps your expectations from falling through. The test is simple: can the task be expressed as commands, files, scripts? If yes, inside the line; if it only works by clicking a non-terminal GUI, outside it.

它的 Computer Use 是验证，不是替你点Its Computer Use Is Verification, Not Clicking for You.
Warp 确实有 Computer Use —— 但它是沙箱里给 agent 验自己的活，碰不到你本机。Warp does have Computer Use — but it's a sandbox for the agent to check its own work, and it can't touch your machine.它是实验性的，只在 Warp 的沙箱云端环境跑、不在本地交互会话；沙箱和你的本机、凭据隔离，用途是让 agent 在反馈闭环里验证自己改出来的界面 —— 比如它改了前端，自己开个浏览器看渲染对不对、表单校验过不过。1注 1Note 1Warp Docs · Computer Use —— 截至 2026-07-10，Computer Use 是实验性、opt-in、仅在 Warp 沙箱云端环境可用，不在本地交互会话；可截图、点击、输入、操作浏览器/应用，但沙箱与本机和凭据隔离。Warp Docs · Computer Use — as of 2026-07-10, Computer Use is experimental, opt-in, and only available in Warp sandboxed cloud environments, not local interactive sessions; it can screenshot, click, type, and operate browser/apps, but the sandbox is isolated from the local machine and credentials.这和「替你驱动本机 GUI」是两回事。那条线：沙箱里验证自己写的（Warp） vs 在你机器上替你动手（Claude in Chrome、Operator 那类）。要后者，就该开后者，别指望 Warp 这个沙箱伸到你的桌面上来。It's experimental, runs only in Warp's sandboxed cloud environment, not in local interactive sessions; the sandbox is isolated from your machine and credentials, and its use is letting the agent verify its own UI changes in a feedback loop — it changed the frontend, so it opens a browser to check the rendering and whether form validation passes.1注 1Note 1Warp Docs · Computer Use —— 截至 2026-07-10，Computer Use 是实验性、opt-in、仅在 Warp 沙箱云端环境可用，不在本地交互会话；可截图、点击、输入、操作浏览器/应用，但沙箱与本机和凭据隔离。Warp Docs · Computer Use — as of 2026-07-10, Computer Use is experimental, opt-in, and only available in Warp sandboxed cloud environments, not local interactive sessions; it can screenshot, click, type, and operate browser/apps, but the sandbox is isolated from the local machine and credentials. That's a different thing from 'driving your local GUI for you.' The line: verifying what it wrote, in a sandbox (Warp) vs acting for you, on your machine (Claude in Chrome, Operator, that class). For the latter, open the latter — don't expect Warp's sandbox to reach out onto your desktop.
何时普通终端或专用工具更好When a Plain Terminal or Dedicated Tool Is Better.
有些活留在 Warp 里反而更费 —— 该出手时就切出去。Some work costs more kept inside Warp — when it's time, step out.给四条出界规则：离线、远程、容器里，普通终端更稳（也别忘了 iTerm2 / tmux 在纯定制和多路复用上仍更强，前面底座那章说过）；稳定重复的流水线，写成脚本挂 cron 比每次叫 agent 强；要驱动 GUI，用 Computer Use 那类工具；大段、跨多文件、靠编辑器来回改的活，切到 Cursor —— 终端侧和编辑器侧本就是一对元工具，下一章讲怎么分工。2注 2Note 2Warp Docs · Full Terminal Use —— agent 在 PTY 里与交互式终端程序协作（psql、vim、gdb、REPL、dev server）；这是 Warp agent 的主场，与「驱动桌面 GUI」是两回事。Warp Docs · Full Terminal Use — the agent works with interactive terminal apps inside the PTY (psql, vim, gdb, REPLs, dev servers); this is the Warp agent's home turf, distinct from 'driving a desktop GUI.'知道什么时候不用它，和知道怎么用它一样，是判断力。Four out-of-bounds rules: offline, remote, in a container — a plain terminal is steadier (and remember iTerm2 / tmux are still stronger on raw customization and multiplexing, as the base chapter noted); a stable repeated pipeline — a script on cron beats calling the agent each time; driving a GUI — use a Computer Use class tool; large, multi-file, editor-driven rewriting — switch to Cursor, since the terminal side and the editor side are a pair of meta-tools, and the next chapter covers the split.2注 2Note 2Warp Docs · Full Terminal Use —— agent 在 PTY 里与交互式终端程序协作（psql、vim、gdb、REPL、dev server）；这是 Warp agent 的主场，与「驱动桌面 GUI」是两回事。Warp Docs · Full Terminal Use — the agent works with interactive terminal apps inside the PTY (psql, vim, gdb, REPLs, dev servers); this is the Warp agent's home turf, distinct from 'driving a desktop GUI.' Knowing when not to use it is as much judgment as knowing how to use it.

列出你想让 Warp 做、但它其实不该做的活：List the tasks you wanted Warp to do but it shouldn't:
需要切走的信号：任务核心是看屏幕、点按钮、跨账号状态、不可逆提交。Switch-away signals: core task is seeing the screen, clicking buttons, cross-account state, irreversible submit.
如果必须做 GUI 自动化：只用测试账号、测试数据、测试环境。If GUI automation is required: use test account, test data, test environment.
如果必须做 GUI 自动化：最后一步提交、付款、发送、权限变更必须人工确认。If GUI automation is required: final submit, payment, send, permission change must be human-confirmed.
如果必须做 GUI 自动化：保留截图、日志、回滚方式，不要无监督跑。If GUI automation is required: keep screenshots, logs, rollback path; do not run unsupervised.

给每件归类：普通终端 / 写脚本 / 切 Cursor / 用 Computer Use 那类工具。Classify each: plain terminal / write a script / switch to Cursor / use a Computer Use class tool.
记住那条最容易越界的：要点别的 GUI app，就不是 Warp 的活。Remember the easiest line to cross: if it means clicking another GUI app, it's not Warp's job.
它能验证它写的界面，
碰不到你开的应用.
It can verify the UI it wrote,
it can't touch the apps you opened.
