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

playwright-mcp 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.

Playwright MCP Testing

Automate browser testing, web scraping, and UI validation using Playwright MCP server for comprehensive browser automation.

Quick Start

Core Testing Workflow:

  1. Navigate to application
  2. Take snapshot (accessibility tree)
  3. Interact with elements
  4. Verify expected behavior
  5. Take screenshots for documentation

Key Tools

Navigation & Waiting

  • browser_navigate - Load URL
  • browser_wait_for - Wait for time, text, or element

Interaction

  • browser_click - Click buttons and elements
  • browser_fill_form - Batch fill multiple form fields
  • browser_type - Type into inputs
  • browser_select_option - Select dropdown options

Validation

  • browser_snapshot - Accessibility tree (for AI analysis)
  • browser_take_screenshot - Visual capture
  • browser_console_messages - Check for JavaScript errors

Testing Patterns

Page Load Verification

Navigate to http://localhost:8501
Wait 5 seconds
Take snapshot
Verify expected elements present

Form Testing

Fill form fields (use browser_fill_form for speed)
Click Submit button
Wait for "Success" text to appear
Take screenshot

Responsive Design

Resize to 375x667 (mobile)
Take screenshot
Resize to 1920x1080 (desktop)
Take screenshot

Multi-Page Navigation

Navigate to homepage
Click navigation link
Verify URL changed
Verify new page content

Best Practices

DO:

  • Use browser_snapshot for AI analysis
  • Wait for content (3-5 seconds)
  • Batch form fields with browser_fill_form
  • Use element refs from snapshots for reliable clicks
  • Check console for errors

AVOID:

  • Using screenshots when you need to interact
  • Typing each field individually
  • Skipping waits for dynamic content
  • Ignoring console errors

Common Workflows

Pre-Deployment Testing

  • Test all pages load without errors
  • Verify navigation works
  • Test forms submit successfully
  • Check data displays correctly
  • Validate responsive design (375, 768, 1920px)
  • Check console for JavaScript errors

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.
