browserbase-fetch is a skill for Claude Code from strikersam/autonomous-ai-agency. It costs 59 tokens per session (487 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight web-fetching skill that retrieves HTML, JSON, or HTTP headers from a URL without opening a browser. It supports redirects, proxies, rate-limited sites, and bulk retrieval of static content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read static pages, call JSON APIs, inspect headers and redirect chains, or scrape many URLs without browser interaction.
Why use it?
It is suited to pages and APIs that do not need JavaScript or user interaction. Fetching directly is useful for health checks, scraping, and inspecting responses at lower overhead.

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

browserbase-fetch 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 8d 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.

Setup

export BROWSERBASE_API_KEY="bb_live_..."

Python snippet

import os, json, urllib.request

def bb_fetch(url: str, allow_redirects: bool = True) -> dict:
    key = os.environ["BROWSERBASE_API_KEY"]
    payload = json.dumps({
        "url": url,
        "allowRedirects": allow_redirects,
    }).encode()
    req = urllib.request.Request(
        "https://api.browserbase.com/v1/fetch",
        data=payload,
        headers={"X-BB-API-Key": key, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    )
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as resp:
        return json.loads(resp.read())

result = bb_fetch("https://local-llm-server.strikersam.workers.dev/api/health")
print(result["status"], result["content"][:500])

Checking the platform health

# Check all public endpoints
endpoints = [
    "/api/health",
    "/api/doctor/public",
    "/api/version",
]
for path in endpoints:
    r = bb_fetch(f"https://local-llm-server.strikersam.workers.dev{path}")
    print(f"{path}: HTTP {r['status']}")
    print(r['content'][:200])
    print()

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.
