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-automation 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 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.

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 Skill

Complete browser automation workflow based on MCP Browser Server, providing stable and reliable web page operations.

Core Capabilities

  • CDP-Powered Automation: Chrome DevTools Protocol for reliable, background operations
  • Smart Navigation System: Auto-detect open tabs, avoid redundant navigation
  • Advanced Element Interaction: UID-based targeting, accessibility tree analysis
  • Content Extraction: HTML/text extraction, saved locally
  • Network Requests: Send HTTP requests with browser cookies
  • Advanced Features: File upload, script injection, history navigation

📖 Quick Start

🎯 Execution Flow

Standard Workflow (CDP-Powered, Recommended)

1. get_windows_and_tabs                        (Check browser state)
2. chrome_navigate(url)                        (Navigate to target page, background mode)
3. chrome_screenshot(tabId)                    (Verify loading)
4. [Optional] chrome_page_protection_enable    (Protect from user interference)
5. [Optional] chrome_accessibility_snapshot    (Get interactive elements with UIDs)
6. [Optional] chrome_click_element(uid)        (Click using UID - most reliable)
7. chrome_get_web_content(tabId)               (Extract content)
8. [Optional] chrome_page_protection_disable   (Restore user control)
9. chrome_close_tabs                           (Clean up: close opened tabs after completion)

⚠️ User Intervention: When encountering login/CAPTCHA/complex decisions, use mcp__user_interaction_tools__ask_user_confirmation:

Example parameters:

{
    "type": "user_takeover",
    "message": "Detected login required. Please complete login and click confirm.",
    "confirm_text": "Continue",
    "cancel_text": "Cancel",
    "tabId": "1625463389",
    "timeout": 300
}

CDP Advantages:

  • Background execution: No tab activation, faster performance
  • UID-based targeting: Most reliable element location method
  • Better error handling: CDP provides detailed error information
  • Persistent state: Maintains page state across operations

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.
