Trust breakdown (6 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Supply Chain Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Known CVEs were checked across the 98 of 100 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Dependency health was assessed across the 98 of 100 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency48
  • Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).Pass
  • Actively maintained (last published 8 days ago).Pass
  • Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability59
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3059 tokens (~437/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management33
  • Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage81
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 44% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~3,059 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
cancel_job ~44

Cancel a running background execute job by jobId — terminates its sandbox worker. No-op if the job already finished.

NameTypeReqDescription
jobIdstringyesJob id to cancel

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

connect_tab ~193

Pin a browser tab for subsequent commands and start CDP capture. Three modes: (1) provide a URL: with the optional tabs grant Crawlio reuses a match, otherwise it creates a fresh owned tab; (2) provide a tabId to adopt a specific existing tab (tabs grant required); (3) no args to discover and pin the active tab (tabs grant required). Pass background:true to avoid stealing the user's active tab/window focus.

NameTypeReqDescription
backgroundbooleanConnect + drive the tab without activating it or focusing its window (no focus-steal). The tab opens/loads in the background; input and screenshots use CDP so they work without foreground focus.
tabIdnumberSpecific tab ID to connect to (use list_tabs to discover IDs)
urlstringURL to open — reuses a match when tab metadata is granted, otherwise creates a fresh owned tab

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

execute ~2,328

Execute JavaScript code with access to the browser bridge, Crawlio HTTP client, and smart object. Use search() first to discover available commands and their parameters. IMPORTANT WARNINGS: - smart.screenshot() does NOT exist. For screenshots: bridge.send({ type: 'take_screenshot' }). - For structured page evidence, prefer smart.extractPage() — runs 7 ops in parallel with typed gaps[]. - capture_page returns a ~1KB shaped summary. For raw data, use stop_network_capture or get_console_logs. - Use smart.waitForIdle() instead of sleep(). Use smart.scrollCapture() instead of manual scroll loops. - Scope large snapshots with smart.snapshot({ compact: true, maxDepth: 8, selector: '#main' }); use { interactive: true } for controls only. - For cross-page navigation, use smart.navigate(url) — never location.href = "..." (breaks CDP). Available in scope: - bridge.send(command, timeout?) — send command to browser extension via WebSocket command must have a `type` field matching a command name (e.g. { type: 'list_tabs' }) - crawlio.api(method, path, body?) — generic HTTP to ControlServer e.g. await crawlio.api('GET', '/status') e.g. await crawlio.api('POST', '/start', { url: 'https://example.com' }) e.g. await crawlio.api('POST', '/export', { format: 'zip', destinationPath: '/tmp/site.zip' }) e.g. await crawlio.api('PATCH', '/settings', { settings: { maxConcurrent: 8 } }) Returns { status: number, data: unknown } - crawlio.getStatus() — shortcut for GET /status - crawlio.startCrawl(url) — shortcut for POST /start - crawlio.getEnrichment(url?) — shortcut for GET /enrichment - crawlio.getCrawledURLs(params?) — shortcut for GET /crawled-urls - crawlio.postEnrichment(url, data) — shortcut for POST /enrichment/bundle - sleep(ms) — async wait (max 30s) - TIMEOUTS — per-command timeout constants - compileRecording(session, { name, description? }) — compile RecordingSession to SKILL.md Returns { skillMarkdown, name, pageCount, interactionCount } - ocrScreenshot(opts?)…

codestringyesAsync JavaScript function body. Has bridge, crawlio, sleep, TIMEOUTS, smart, compileRecording, ocrScreenshot, saveArtifact in scope. Must return a value (for bulk data, saveArtifact to disk and retur…
tabIdnumberTarget tab id from list_tabs. Every bridge.send in the script that does not name its own tabId runs against this tab (default: the connected tab).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_job_result ~117

Poll a background execute job by jobId (returned by execute({ background: true })). Returns { status: running|done|error|cancelled, value?, console?, error?, ageMs, runtimeMs? }, or { status: 'not_found' } if unknown/expired (finished jobs are kept ~10 min). phase/percent come from reportPhase(name, percent) calls inside the job; phases is the recent timeline while it is still running.

NameTypeReqDescription
jobIdstringyesJob id from execute({ background: true })

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_jobs ~39

List background execute jobs (running + recently finished). Returns { count, jobs: [{ jobId, status, ageMs, runtimeMs? }] }.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

observe ~242

Manage extension-resident observation. Actions: training_start, training_status, training_stop, training_clear, training_artifacts; recording_start, recording_status, recording_stop, recording_clear, recording_artifacts (RecordingBundle aliases); monitor_start, monitor_status, monitor_results, monitor_stop, monitor_clear. Training and monitors continue while MCP is disconnected; stop materializes canonical files and confirmed clear deletes only Chrome-retained records.

NameTypeReqDescription

search ~96

Search available commands by keyword — both browser automation (via bridge.send) and Crawlio HTTP endpoints (via crawlio.api). Returns matching command names, descriptions, and parameter schemas. Use this to discover what commands are available before writing execute() code.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitnumberMax results (default: 10)
querystringyesSearch keyword (e.g. 'screenshot', 'cookie', 'network', 'navigate')
