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

agent-browser 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 27d 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.

Test interfaces with agent-browser

Use the installed agent-browser CLI for rendered, user-facing verification. Load its version-matched instructions before relying on command syntax:

agent-browser skills get core --full

Use a specialized bundled guide when the target requires one. agent-browser skills list shows the available guides.

Verification loop

  1. Start or identify the target application and record the exact URL and viewport.
  2. Open the page in a named session.
  3. Take an accessibility snapshot and identify controls by role, label, or snapshot reference.
  4. Perform the user action.
  5. Wait for the resulting state, then take a fresh snapshot. References can become stale after navigation or a substantial DOM update.
  6. Verify the observable result, console errors, and relevant network behavior.
  7. Capture screenshots when visual evidence helps establish the result.

For EmDash admin testing, authenticate through the development bypass rather than attempting to automate passkeys:

agent-browser open 'http://localhost:4321/_emdash/api/setup/dev-bypass?redirect=/_emdash/admin'

Use auth/dev-bypass instead when setup is already complete.

Interaction guidance

  • Prefer role and label locators when they express the user-facing control clearly. Use snapshot references for efficient exploration.
  • Re-snapshot after a dialog opens, a route changes, or content is replaced.
  • Wait for a selector or visible state instead of adding a fixed delay unless timing itself is under test.
  • Use a named session for flows that depend on cookies or storage. Close sessions that are no longer needed.
  • Check agent-browser console and agent-browser errors when the UI behaves unexpectedly.
  • Use agent-browser network requests when the result depends on a request or response boundary.

Evidence

Record the path tested, inputs, viewport, expected result, actual result, and any console or request failures. For UI changes, capture the rendered result and before-and-after screenshots when the difference is otherwise ambiguous.

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.
