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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00139 | $0.02562 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00069 | $0.01281 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00512 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00256 |
Grade A, and why
web-access 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 9d 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.

Skill: web-access
复杂 web 任务的方法论:把内置的 web_search / web_fetch 与 browser 工具(驱动你日常的、已登录的 Chrome/Edge)按场景编排起来,并跨 session 积累站点经验。
前置:浏览器自动化
web_search / web_fetch 开箱即用,不需要任何配置。
只有当任务需要操作浏览器界面 / 登录态 / 动态渲染页面时,才需要 browser 工具能连上你日常的浏览器。一次性配置:
- 在要用的浏览器打开 inspect 页面并勾选 Allow remote debugging for this browser instance(可能需重启浏览器):
- Chrome:
chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging - Edge:
edge://inspect,然后点左侧 Remote debugging
- Chrome:
- 或直接运行
octo browser setup,它会给出上面的步骤、验证连接、并把端口写进配置。
连上后 browser 工具天然携带登录态——大多数常用网站都已登录。无独立浏览器、无需命令行参数。
部分站点对浏览器自动化检测严格,存在账号限流/封禁风险。操作社交平台(小红书等)强烈建议用小号。Agent 继续操作即视为接受。
浏览哲学
像人一样思考,兼顾高效与适应性地完成任务。
带着目标进入,边看边判断,遇到阻碍就解决,发现内容不够就深入——全程围绕「我要达成什么」做决策。
① 拿到请求 — 先明确成功标准:什么算完成?需要获取什么信息、执行什么操作、达到什么结果?这是后续所有判断的锚点。
② 选择起点 — 根据任务性质、平台特征、达成条件,选一个最可能直达的方式作为第一步去验证。需要操作页面、需要登录态、已知静态方式不可达的平台(小红书、微信公众号等)→ 直接用 browser。
③ 过程校验 — 每一步的结果都是证据。用结果对照①的成功标准:路径在推进吗?结果的质量、相关度、量级是否指向目标可达?发现方向错了立即调整,不在同一方式上反复重试——搜索没命中不等于"还没找对方法",也可能是"目标不存在"。遇到弹窗、登录墙,先判断它是否真的挡住了目标:内容可能已在 DOM 中,交互只是展示手段。
④ 完成判断 — 对照成功标准确认完成才停止;但也不为了"完整"过度操作、浪费代价。
联网工具选择
确保信息真实性,一手信息优于二手。搜索引擎和聚合平台是发现入口,不是真伪的证明。
| 场景 | 工具 |
|---|---|
| 搜索摘要、关键词结果、发现信息来源 | web_search |
| URL 已知,按 prompt 从页面提取信息 | web_fetch(直接传原始 URL;HTML 自动转成干净 Markdown,正文优先、链接绝对化) |
| URL 已知,需要页面原始 HTML(meta、JSON-LD 等结构化字段) | web_fetch 加 clean=false |
| 非公开内容,或已知静态层无效的平台(小红书、公众号等) | browser(直接,跳过静态层) |
| 需要登录态、交互操作,或要像人一样在浏览器内自由导航探索 | browser |
web_search / web_fetch 都不处理登录态。browser 不要求 URL 已知——可从任意入口出发,靠页面内搜索、点击、跳转找到目标。
browser 工具要点
action 级用法(observe / click / eval / record / replay 等的参数与语义)以 browser 工具自身的 schema 描述为准,此处不重复。schema 之外的判断准则:
- 重复性流程(批量操作、定期取数)优先录制回放(record → replay),而非每次盲驱动。
- 收尾用
close关闭自己开的标签页,保留用户原有标签页。
程序化 vs GUI 交互
- 程序化(navigate 构造 URL、eval 操作 DOM):快、精确,但对网站不是正常用户行为,可能触发反爬。
- GUI 交互(observe→click→type→scroll):网站不限制正常 UI 操作,确定性最高,但步骤多、慢。
根据对平台的了解灵活选择。GUI 交互也是有效探测:一次真实交互能观察站点实际行为(URL 模式、必需参数、跳转逻辑),为后续程序化操作提供依据;程序化受阻时它是可靠兜底。
What ships with it
2 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.
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.
- 9d ago First seen · 150 lines · 139 tokens per session scan A 99b6cc5aadf5
web-access is a skill published in the GitHub repository open-octo/octo-agent (97 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 139 tokens to every session and 2,562 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
