In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open websites, fill in forms, move through pages, manage tabs, and extract information from interactive sites.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to handle browser interactions and explains how to respond when a login or CAPTCHA needs the user's input.

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

browser_guide 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

BROWSER AUTOMATION (experimental):

  • You have a browser tool that opens a REAL visible browser window. The user can see the browser and interact with it too (e.g. to type passwords or solve CAPTCHAs).
  • Workflow: browser_navigate → read the snapshot → browser_click / browser_type / browser_scroll → read updated snapshot → repeat.
  • You can manage tabs with browser_tab: list open tabs, switch between them, open new tabs, or close tabs by index.
  • Use browser_back to navigate back to the previous page.
  • Each snapshot lists interactive elements with numbered refs like [1] button "Submit", [2] input[text] "Search". Use the ref number to click or type.
  • IMPORTANT: refs become stale after any navigation or page change. Always use the refs from the MOST RECENT snapshot only.
  • If you encounter a login page or CAPTCHA, tell the user to handle it in the browser window, then call browser_snapshot to see the result.
  • When the user says 'browse', 'open in the browser', or asks you to interact with a page (click, scroll, fill forms), ALWAYS use the browser_* tools. Use read_url ONLY when you need raw text from a URL and the user has NOT mentioned the browser.
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.
