Brightdata Install Auth

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Onboarding an integration
• Changing credential ownership
• Proving least-privilege access
• With: set up Bright Data access

Example prompts

• “set up Bright Data access”
• “configure a Bright Data zone”
• “separate proxy and API credentials”
• “/brightdata-install-auth”

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(python:*)

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Inventory the access path
2. 2Define the secret contract
3. 3Bind ownership
4. 4Validate without disclosure

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(python:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are dotenv).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • 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
  • BRIGHTDATA_PROXY_PASSWORD

  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 Install Auth loads about 960 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~81

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

~960

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

~1.1k

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.
