opentabs: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

opentabs AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from opentabs-dev/opentabs. It costs 7,070 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Project instructions for OpenTabs, a Chrome extension and local MCP server that lets coding agents interact with web applications through an authenticated browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or debugging OpenTabs plugins, the MCP server, Chrome-extension adapters, plugin discovery, or communication between the agent and browser.
Why use it?
They explain how the extension, server, and plugins communicate and how plugins are discovered and injected into matching browser tabs. This gives contributors the context needed to work within the project’s architecture.

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 B, and why

opentabs AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 2 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 1mo 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Project Instructions for Codex

Project Overview

OpenTabs Platform is a Chrome extension + MCP server with a plugin-based architecture. A plugin SDK allows anyone to create OpenTabs plugins as standalone npm packages. The MCP server discovers plugins at runtime, and the Chrome extension dynamically injects plugin adapters into matching tabs — giving AI agents access to web applications through the user's authenticated browser session.

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.
