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

playwright 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 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.

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.

Browser Automation with Playwright MCP

Use when: you need to interact with a web page — test a UI, scrape docs, verify a login flow, research a live API.

MCP server key: playwright — tools: mcp__playwright__*

Token cost: 🟡 LOW-MEDIUM — accessibility snapshots are structured text (no pixel cost); large pages produce verbose trees.

Decision matrix — when to use playwright vs other tools

Task Use
"Test this login form end-to-end" playwright
"Scrape this documentation page" playwright
"Verify OAuth redirect works" playwright
"Find code about auth" cocoindex-code (semantic search)
"What does AuthService call?" codebase-memory-mcp (structural graph)
"Is this PR safe to ship?" code-review-graph

Core tools

mcp__playwright__browser_navigate(url)           — go to URL
mcp__playwright__browser_snapshot()              — accessibility tree (PREFER over screenshot)
mcp__playwright__browser_click(element, ref)     — click by accessibility label
mcp__playwright__browser_fill(element, ref, val) — fill an input
mcp__playwright__browser_screenshot()            — visual capture (only when structure is insufficient)
mcp__playwright__browser_evaluate(script)        — run JS in page context
mcp__playwright__browser_wait_for_url(url)       — wait for navigation
mcp__playwright__browser_close()                 — clean up when done

Standard workflow — snapshot first, screenshot never (unless needed)

1. browser_navigate(url)
2. browser_snapshot()              ← read the accessibility tree
3. browser_click / browser_fill    ← interact by element label or ref
4. browser_snapshot()              ← verify the new state
5. browser_close()                 ← always clean up

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.
