Why this rating

Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.

  • Locality: Hybrid

    Local automation runtime interacts with external web targets.

  • Data access: Sensitive

    Browser sessions may include authenticated pages, form data, and extracted page content.

  • Action surface: Execute

    Supports direct action commands (navigate, click, type, evaluate) with state-changing effects.

Best practices

Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.

  • Use isolated browser profiles for automation tasks.
  • Confirm target domains before running scripted click/type actions.
  • Avoid storing long-lived session cookies in shared environments.

Max-risk rule
