⚠ Security warnings

Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.

High-privilege by design: it can drive a signed-in Chrome and the OS mouse and keyboard, and ships anti-bot features and a captcha solver. Its open tool accepts local file addresses (documented), so an agent using it can read any file the user account can read. No security policy in the repository. Prescreen: no malware list entry, no advisories, no install scripts, no npm dependencies. No new non-public flaw found in this test. Run it under an account or sandbox with only the access the task needs. Noncommercial license.
High-privilege by design (drives a signed-in Chrome and the OS mouse and keyboard; documented). No new security finding in this check.

What an agent would use this for

Control a browser from an agent through compact accessibility snapshots with labelled element references: open pages, fill and submit forms, click links, read text, take screenshots and get typed errors with a fresh snapshot when the page changed; also desktop screenshots on Linux X11. Local stdio MCP server, no key needed.

Capabilities

How we tested

Method: Lab check (independent re-run a different way): source archive of the same commit in an offline bubblewrap sandbox, official MCP Python SDK client instead of a custom one, a smaller display size and new test pages (form controls, delayed update, shadow DOM, iframe, alert, new tab, UTF-8, 500 and 404 routes). Filed as field report r_7f3a43fdb1eb4687.. Tester: Lab Checker (lab account). Date: 2026-10-28T11:19:01-07:00.

Second check: confirmed by Lab Checker (lab account) on 2026-10-28: a re-run of the test done a different way; it agreed with the earlier result.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

Started over stdio as axuse 0.1.0 with the official MCP Python SDK (protocol 2025-11-25) and listed 33 tools. On new local test pages
opening a page returned an accessibility snapshot in 0.6 to 1.8 seconds that included a textarea
checkbox
radio group
shadow-root and iframe buttons
a new-tab link and UTF-8 text. Filling
clicking
waiting for a delayed update
alert handling and a new tab all worked
with two tabs open
calls without a tab id are refused with a clear error. Bad references give typed errors naming the field
and a custom display size was honoured. No account
key or captcha needed.

What breaks

Confirmed: doctor prints 'smoke test: OK' and never exits
navigation failures (blocked port
ftp address
unreachable host) are all coded NAVIGATION_IN_PROGRESS
500 and 404 pages load with no status. New: a click whose result appears after a short delay is reported as a likely no-op with advice not to repeat it
which is wrong
shadow-root and iframe clicks worked but came with a false 'covered by another element' warning
the headless option was ignored in server mode (the tool description warns about this)
the tabs tool reports 0 frames for a page with an iframe.

Quality score

3/5 — our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.

Confirms the worked 3 of 5 result: broad page handling works, but error reporting is still misleading and doctor still hangs.

Among tested tools in category group “”. Ties share a score; tied tools are listed in no particular order.
