Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

    Operates local GUI automation while enabling interactive browsing/networked app workflows.

  • Data access: Sensitive

    Can capture and view whatever is visible on screen, including private sessions.

  • Action surface: Execute

    Performs direct UI actions (click/type/key/drag) and can launch applications/services.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Use isolated desktop profiles/sessions for automation to reduce credential exposure.
  • Avoid logging into high-risk accounts during autonomous UI runs unless required.
  • Record and review action sequences before enabling unattended repeated workflows.

Max-risk rule

If any capability reaches a higher level, the entire indicator level bumps up to keep ratings deterministic and easy to scan.
