If there's some function you want to use, but it doesn't do _quite_ what you want, you can patch its behavior by simply overriding some intermediate variable that it uses in its computation.

For example, to add two numbers, you override the argument field 'y' of the 'add' object and get its 'result' field:
3.add[y=4].result
You can access a parent scope using ^, so to add 'a' and 'b' (both in the current scope) you can do
a.add[y=^.b].result
3.add[y=4].result
You can access a parent scope using ^, so to add 'a' and 'b' (both in the current scope) you can do
a.add[y=^.b].result

To benchmark the agent, I made a few "simulations" of unsubscribe websites. The results are far from perfect! There's still a lot of room for improvement here.

Apps like Gmail try to give you automated "unsubscribe" buttons, but companies have clever ways of making this not actually do what you want. The most common trick is having many "mailing lists". By default you are removed from only one. This is also a trick on unsubscribe pages.
