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

cookie-debugging 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core Concepts

Page Targeting: Page-scoped tools (list_network_requests, get_network_request, list_console_messages, evaluate_script, navigate_page, take_snapshot, click, lighthouse_audit, close_page, etc.) require a pageId parameter. Retrieve available page IDs using list_pages or from new_page.

HttpOnly vs Client-Side Storage

Cookies marked HttpOnly cannot be accessed or modified by client-side JavaScript (cookieStore or document.cookie). However, the browser automatically attaches active HttpOnly cookies to outgoing HTTP request headers (Cookie).

  • To inspect current HttpOnly values: Look at the Cookie request header of any outgoing HTTP request via get_network_request.
  • To inspect how cookies were created or configured: Look at the Set-Cookie response header of login/auth responses.
  • To inspect non-HttpOnly cookies: Use evaluate_script with the modern cookieStore API (async () => await cookieStore.getAll()).

Session Strategy: Live Tab vs Isolated Context

Choose the right session environment to avoid state contamination (e.g., residual analytics or auth tokens):

Strategy When to Use Setup / Teardown
Live Tab (Active Page) Diagnosing an active user session, live 401/403 error, or current state. Operates on the user's existing page; get its pageId from list_pages.
Clean-Slate (isolatedContext) Testing cookie consent banners, first-time visits, or zero-cookie guarantees. Call new_page with a unique isolatedContext (e.g. "consent-audit-1"). When finished, call close_page.

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.
