Additional Context

The existing Notte integration in ACI (backend/apps/notte/) wraps 3 page-scraping primitives: NOTTE__START_SESSION, NOTTE__OBSERVE_PAGE, NOTTE__SCRAPE_DATA. It does not expose Notte Functions, the deploy-a-browser-script-as-an-API capability that shipped after the v1.0.0 wrapper.

A Notte Function is a serverless deployment of a browser automation script. Once deployed (one-time, via Notte SDK), it has a stable function_id and accepts arbitrary parameters as JSON. With this wrapper, an ACI user can:

  1. Author a custom browser flow (book a flight, monitor stock, fill a form, scrape a paywalled feed) as a Notte Function once.
  2. Register the resulting function_id as an ACI tool (via this new wrapper).
  3. Have any ACI agent invoke it like any other tool, with deterministic execution and lower per-call cost than re-running an exploratory browser-use agent.

The wrapper is a single REST call:

POST https://api.notte.cc/functions/{function_id}/runs/start
Authorization: Bearer NOTTE_API_KEY
Body: { "<user-defined params>": ... }

Use case: ACI users with recurring browser tasks (vendor-specific dashboards, supplier portals, paywalled data feeds) can deploy each flow once on Notte, then call them through ACI as named tools. Reduces token cost and latency vs. agent-per-call.

Reference: this is the same value prop we're staging for NousResearch/hermes-agent (nottelabs/notte#758, open PR with the provider class, unit tests, and the upstream integration guide — Mendral-approved, currently finishing CI before merge into our staging repo) — Notte as the deployment surface for browser flows that outlive a single agent run.

Happy to PR the wrapper ourselves following ACI's existing patterns in backend/apps/notte/functions.json if that is preferred over having your team write it.
