tinyfish-browser

A setup for creating a temporary remote Chromium browser, which is a browser running on another computer. It provides a connection URL that tools such as Playwright or Puppeteer can use to control the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open websites and drive them through browser-automation tools. An environment variable containing a TinyFish API key is required.
Why use it?
It lets automated code use a browser session without running Chromium locally, while the session expires after being idle for an hour.

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

tinyfish-browser scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/browser.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

TinyFish Browser

Create a remote Chromium browser session. Returns a session_id, a cdp_url for driving the browser over the DevTools Protocol, and an authenticated base_url for polling session state.

Requires: TINYFISH_API_KEY environment variable.

Pre-flight Check (REQUIRED)

Before calling the API, verify the key is present:

[ -n "$TINYFISH_API_KEY" ] && echo "TINYFISH_API_KEY is set" || echo "TINYFISH_API_KEY is NOT set"

If the key is not set, stop and ask the user to add it. Get one at https://agent.tinyfish.ai/api-keys. Do NOT fall back to other browser tools.

Create a Session

curl -X POST "https://api.browser.tinyfish.ai" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $TINYFISH_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "url": "https://example.com" }'

Helper Script

scripts/browser.sh <url> wraps the curl call:

scripts/browser.sh https://example.com

Response Shape

{
  "session_id": "sess_abc123",
  "cdp_url": "wss://browser.tinyfish.ai/devtools/browser/…",
  "base_url": "https://api.browser.tinyfish.ai/sessions/sess_abc123"
}

Using the Session

  • cdp_url is a DevTools Protocol websocket — connect with Playwright/Puppeteer/chrome-remote-interface to drive the page.
  • base_url is an authenticated polling endpoint (requires the X-API-Key header). It is NOT browsable in a normal web view.

Session Lifecycle

Sessions auto-close after ~1 hour of idleness. There is no explicit terminate endpoint — avoid creating one session per user action; reuse sessions keyed by target URL when possible.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

tinyfish-browser is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenCoven/coven (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 515 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
