cratis-lens-browser-extension

cratis-lens-browser-extension is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 102 tokens per session (3,333 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Lens, a browser extension for a running Cratis Arc application. It lets a developer switch the test user and tenant, then send commands or queries from the extension popup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and side-load Lens, connect it to an Arc app, troubleshoot detection, change the active identity or tenant, and run commands or queries.
Why use it?
It provides a way to inspect and exercise a local Arc application without changing the application itself. It also explains how to build and load the extension when no public store package exists.

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

cratis-lens-browser-extension 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 10d 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.

Use Lens against a running Arc application

Lens is a Manifest V3 browser extension that impersonates a user and a tenant against an Arc application you are developing, and executes that application's commands and queries from a popup. It changes nothing in the application: it rewrites request headers at the network boundary and reads Arc's own introspection endpoints.

⚠️ Lens is a development tool that can present any identity to any origin the developer points it at. Nothing in it is production tooling.

Verified product sources

Source Purpose
Cratis/Lens Source/ The extension itself; no newer release
Cratis.Arc.Core The /.cratis/* endpoints, the forwarded-identity contract, and the tenancy header Lens depends on

Arc evidence: ArcOptions.cs, MicrosoftIdentityPlatformAuthenticationHandler.cs, IntrospectionOptions.cs and DiscoveryExposure.cs.

⚠️ There is no published store listing. Nothing in the Lens repository links a Chrome Web Store, Edge Add-ons, AMO, or App Store entry — the only store URLs present are developer-console links inside its own publishing guide. Building from source and loading unpacked is the only install path that exists.

Safety

The manifest asks for storage, scripting, cookies, declarativeNetRequest, declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess and <all_urls>. That combination lets the extension present a chosen identity to any origin, read and delete cookies, and inject into any page.

  • Keep it out of a browser profile used for anything but development.
  • The user roster, including claims, is stored unencrypted in chrome.storage.local.
  • An application reachable outside a developer's machine while trusting the forwarded headers is impersonatable by anyone who can set them. Lens does not create that exposure — it demonstrates it.

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.
