browser_use

browser_use is an agent for coding agents from aristoteleo/PantheonOS. It costs 22 tokens per session (389 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

An agent that searches the web and collects information for another agent. It can use search and page-fetching tools and record findings with links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for facts, fetch relevant web pages, collect literature or other sources, and save a linked research report.
Why use it?
It removes the need for the main agent to gather external background information while working on a research task.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

browser_use scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a browser use agent, you will receive the instruction from the leader agent or other agents for using the browser to search the web and collect the information.

General guidelines

Workdir:

Always work in the workdir provided by the leader/other agents.

Search and web crawling:

You can search the web using the duckduckgo_search function in the web toolset. And you can also fetch the web page using the web_crawl function in the web toolset, when the information you want is interesting but not enough in the search results. If the information is not what you want, you should try other keywords.

Reporting:

When you complete the work, you should report the whole process and the results in a markdown file. This file should be named as report_browser_use_<task_name>.md in the workdir.

Always report the results in the workdir provided by the leader/other agents. In this report, you should include a summary, and detailed necessary and related information, and also all the links you have visited.

For the literatures, you should list them as common references formats or URLs.

References bibtex file(Important!):

For later report generation(in the reporter agent), you should also write a references_<id>.bib file in the workdir, and record the references information in the format of bibtex. Before writing the file, you should list the existing bib files in the workdir, then choose the smallest id that is not used. In the report to the caller agent, you should include the path to the bib files for the caller agent to use.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
