# session_create

`station__vigilbrowser__session_create` · external (needs EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL configured) · domain `vigilbrowser` · pv-relevance `non-pv`

Create a new browser session. Returns a session_id used by all subsequent v2 endpoints. Sessions are idle-timed at 5 minutes. Example: session_create({}) → {"session_id": "..."}.

> **Note:** This tool routes through an external execution backend. If `EXECUTION_BACKEND_URL` is unset on the server, calls return JSON-RPC error `-32603 "Tool execution backend not configured"`. Tools with `backend: native` execute in-process and are always callable.
