vscode-simple-browser-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from SaViGnAnO/vscode-simple-browser-mcp. It costs 398 tokens per session, scanned C, original, no licence file.

An instruction file for using and developing a VS Code extension that provides a simple in-editor web browser through an MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for explaining the extension's implementation details, development rules, and related resources. The input does not describe the browser's user-facing features.
Why use it?
It gives an AI coding assistant project-specific guidance instead of making it infer how the extension works.

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 C, and why

vscode-simple-browser-mcp copilot-instructions.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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.
