Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

deep-crawl 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 11d 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.

deep_crawl

Overview

The deep_crawl tool recursively crawls a website using a headless Chrome browser via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). It renders JavaScript, follows same-origin links via BFS, extracts text content from each page, and saves results to disk. This is ideal for crawling JS-rendered SPAs, documentation sites, and any site that requires a full browser environment.

Requirements

  • Google Chrome or Chromium must be installed and available in PATH, or at a standard system location.
    • macOS: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome
    • Linux: google-chrome, google-chrome-stable, or chromium-browser

Usage

Call the deep_crawl tool with a starting URL. The crawler will follow same-origin links up to the specified depth and page limits.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
url string yes -- The seed URL to start crawling from
max_depth integer no 3 Maximum link-following depth (1-10)
max_pages integer no 50 Maximum number of pages to crawl (1-200)
path_prefix string no -- Only follow links whose path starts with this prefix

Example

{
  "url": "https://docs.example.com/guide/",
  "max_depth": 3,
  "max_pages": 30,
  "path_prefix": "/guide/"
}

Output

The tool returns a JSON object on stdout:

{
  "output": "# Deep Crawl: https://docs.example.com/guide/\nCrawled 12 pages ...\n\n## Sitemap\n1. [depth=0] https://docs.example.com/guide/ (OK)\n...",
  "success": true
}

The output field contains:

  • A sitemap listing all crawled pages with their depth and status
  • A content preview (first ~2000 characters) for each page
  • The directory path where full page contents are saved as .md files

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
