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

desktop-automation-protocol 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Desktop automation protocol (windows-computer-use-mcp)

Tool selection guide

Goal Tool Example
Click a known button automation_elements(click, title="Save") fast, needs exact title
Click by intent automation_smart(click="the Save button") slower, finds across all windows
Complex multi-step automation_mission(run="save file as PDF") autonomous loop with retry
Record + replay automation_macro(record) → stop → replay repeatable sequences
Wait for event automation_watch(start, "window_appears", "Update") event-driven triggers
Explore desktop automation_smart(discover) get all running apps
Extract + chain automation_mission(workflow, actions, store_as, dollar-ref) cross-app data pipeline

Focus rules

  • After automation starts, do not Alt+Tab or touch the mouse
  • The target window must stay in foreground during click/type sequences
  • If HITL approval appears, approve it and let the target window regain focus
  • Prefer reading logs between paused steps or on a second monitor

Safety

  • Read docs/SAFETY.md before production use
  • Pair with virtualization-mcp for sandbox/VM isolation when running untrusted automation
  • Opt-in features (face, keylogger) are off by default — enable only when needed

Mission design (automation_mission)

For run operation: provide a clear, concrete goal. The server decomposes via LLM sampling. For workflow operation: provide explicit steps with tool, params, label, and optional store_as/dollar-ref for data chaining. For self-healing: set app_path on steps so the mission can re-launch crashed apps.

Changes

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.
