Description
Browser automation via Playwright MCP server. Navigate websites, click elements, fill forms, extract data, take screenshots, and perform full browser automation workflows.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you want an agent to control a browser through Playwright MCP. Prefer host allow-lists, avoid unsupervised use on logged-in or high-value accounts, and review actions that submit forms, upload files, make purchases, change settings, or run page JavaScript.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: playwright-mcp
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'playwright-mcp' is classified as benign. The `SKILL.md` file provides clear documentation for browser automation using Playwright MCP, including installation instructions and usage examples, without any evidence of prompt injection attempts or instructions for malicious actions. It even highlights built-in security features like host validation and restricted file system access. The `examples.py` script is a conceptual demonstration of the skill's usage and does not perform any actual harmful operations, using `example.com` as a placeholder and explicitly stating its conceptual nature. There is no indication of data exfiltration, persistence, or other malicious intent across any of the files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Navigation, clicking, typing, screenshots, file upload, and page JavaScript execution are high-impact browser capabilities, but they directly match the stated Playwright MCP automation purpose and are disclosed.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are reference-style usage examples for starting and using the MCP server; no prompt override, hidden agent directives, or unrelated workflows were found.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses the disclosed external npm package @playwright/mcp through npm or npx. That is coherent for this skill, though the package version is not pinned.
Credentials
Browser automation can interact with logged-in sites and expose page contents through screenshots, traces, videos, or extraction scripts, so users should scope targets carefully.
Persistence & Privilege
Artifacts show a user-started MCP server and a conceptual example script that prints sample calls; no auto-start persistence, privilege escalation, credential harvesting, or local session-store access was found.
How to Use

- Run the install command in chat:
