Browser Use API
v1.0.1Cloud browser automation via Browser Use API. Use when you need AI-driven web browsing, scraping, form filling, or multi-step web tasks without local browser control. Triggers on "browser use", "cloud browser", "scrape website", "automate web task", or when local browser isn't available/suitable.

medium confidencePurpose & Capability
Name/description (cloud browser automation) align with the actual behavior: the SKILL.md and helper script submit tasks to https://api.browser-use.com, poll status, and return results. The only declared requirement is BROWSER_USE_API_KEY, which is appropriate for a hosted API service.
Instruction Scope
Instructions and the helper script send task text to a third-party API and may include screenshots/outputs returned by that service. This is expected for a cloud browser tool, but it means any page contents, credentials, or sensitive data you include in a task will be transmitted to and processed by the remote service. SKILL.md does not provide privacy/retention details or warnings about sending PII/secrets.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only plus a helper script), so nothing is downloaded or installed by the skill itself. The helper script uses curl and python3; no packages are pulled from external/unknown URLs by the skill.
Credentials
The only required env var is BROWSER_USE_API_KEY, which is proportionate. Minor inconsistency: the registry metadata lists no primary credential even though an API key is required. Also the script relies on curl and python3 (not declared in required binaries). The API key will be sent in an HTTP header to api.browser-use.com as part of normal operation.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent/always-on inclusion and does not modify other skills or global agent settings. It is user-invocable and can be invoked autonomously (platform default), which is expected.
Assessment
This skill appears to do what it says: it sends tasks to a remote cloud browser service and returns results. Before installing or using it:
- Only use with an API key you trust: BROWSER_USE_API_KEY is required and will be sent to api.browser-use.com in request headers.
- Do not include secrets or sensitive PII in task descriptions (URLs, login credentials, API keys, proprietary content), because those will be transmitted to and processed by the third-party service and may be captured in screenshots/steps.
- Confirm the provider/domain (api.browser-use.com) and review their privacy/security policies if possible; the package has no homepage or provenance metadata.
- The helper script expects curl and python3 on PATH even though the skill metadata doesn't list required binaries — ensure your environment provides these tools.
- For high-volume or sensitive scraping, prefer local/browser-controlled tooling you manage, or test with non-sensitive queries first.
If you need further verification, provide the service's homepage/owner info or any documentation that establishes who operates api.browser-use.com and how they handle data retention and security.Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
