bureau

A standalone browser service that runs a Firefox-based browser with saved sessions and exposes browser controls over a network connection. It also includes commands for managing identities, searching and capturing social data, checking adapters, and running workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the browser service, manage logged-in browser identities, expose browser tools to clients, run declarative workflows, or check adapter health.
Why use it?
It packages browser automation and its supporting background services into one startable system, so other tools can use saved browser sessions and shared browser capabilities.

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

bureau scanned grade A 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 3d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Bureau — the installable browser capability server

Quick start: bureau start

bureau start orchestrates headless Camofox + bureau serve in a single command.

bureau start                              # Camofox :9377 + serve :8830, foreground
bureau start --detach                     # everything in the background, exit 0 if healthy
bureau start bureau-only                  # Camofox assumed up, starts just serve
bureau start --port 9000                  # bureau serve on :9000
bureau start --camofox-port 9400 --detach
bureau start --camofox-cmd "camoufox serve --port 9377" --detach
bureau start --timeout 90                 # max delay 90 s (default 60)

Camofox command resolution (in order): --camofox-cmd$CAMOFOX_SERVE_CMDlaunchctl start com.agentik.camofox (macOS). If nothing resolves, explicit error with instructions. Idempotent: if Camofox is already up, it is not respawned.

Bureau is the standalone, shipped product of the browser stack: one daemon co-located with a stealth Firefox (Camofox), exposing browser capabilities as MCP-over-HTTP plus a CLI. Same daemon runs three ways behind one BureauEndpoint contract — bureau serve on the user's machine (this skill), agentproto-daemon-managed, or as a cloud RuntimeSpec on a Guilde browser-workstation. Zero @guilde deps; it's its own appliance.

Layout

  • App: projects/browser/apps/bureau — the CLI + serve entrypoint (@agstudio/bureau, bin: bureau).
  • Invoke: node projects/browser/apps/bureau/dist/index.js <cmd> (built output), or pnpm --filter=@agstudio/bureau dev <cmd> (tsx watch), or the global bureau bin if linked.
  • State: ~/.agentproto/bureau/sessions/ (saved identities, the cookie store), guilde.json (connection), runtime.json (descriptor when hosted). Secrets (platform passwords, gld_ tokens) live in the OS Keychain, never on disk or argv.
  • Ports: daemon :8830 (MCP /mcp + /watch/<tab> screencast + /health); Camofox REST :9377.

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.

bureau is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentproto/ts (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 131 tokens to every session and 3,642 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
