Brightdata Core Workflow B

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Collecting an approved batch
• Polling a snapshot
• Downloading large structured results
• With: run a Bright Data dataset job

Example prompts

• “run a Bright Data dataset job”
• “poll a Bright Data snapshot”
• “download Web Scraper API results”
• “/brightdata-core-workflow-b”

Requirements

• A credential in BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an approved Bright Data account or offline fixtures, current Bright Data documentation, and an authorized public-data collection purpose
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Validate the manifest
2. 2Trigger once
3. 3Poll deliberately
4. 4Download and verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Grep
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(curl:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • api.brightdata.com

  Also links to:

  • docs.brightdata.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Requires an approved Bright Data account or offline fixtures, current Bright Data documentation, and an authorized public-data collection purpose

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Brightdata Core Workflow B loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~90

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
