What it does

Firecrawl Policy Guardrails is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Enforce domain authorization, robots and terms review, endpoint and format allowlists, scope, spend, retention, and unsafe-content controls around Firecrawl. Use when governing automated collection. Trigger with "Firecrawl guardrails", "scraping policy", or "restrict Firecrawl domains".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; Firecrawl Cloud work requires network access

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and LLM guardrails. It works with Firecrawl. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

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
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

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

    • FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; Firecrawl Cloud work requires network access

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Firecrawl Policy Guardrails loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Firecrawl Collection Policy Guardrails

Overview

Put enforceable policy before every Firecrawl request and downstream action. Provider capability does not establish permission to collect, retain, or reuse a source.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
  • The source authorization, data classification, and environment policy.
  • Current Firecrawl documentation, credentials only when needed, and an owner for approvals.

Current Contract

Firecrawl crawl supports scope controls, explicit limits, delay, maxConcurrency, and an enterprise robotsUserAgent option. Enterprise controls include endpoint/format key restrictions, IP restrictions, threat protection, and SIEM integration. Request options such as headers, actions, proxy, cache, ZDR, lockdown, and raw formats have separate risk and availability implications.

Authentication

For authenticated Cloud operations, inject FIRECRAWL_API_KEY from an approved secret manager. REST requests use Authorization: Bearer with the key. Never print, commit, transmit, or place a key in a URL. Keyless access is suitable only where the current documentation explicitly allows it and the workload accepts its limits; production workflows should make identity and team ownership explicit.

Instructions

  1. Create a versioned source registry with owner, authorization basis, allowed purpose, domains/paths, robots and terms review, data classes, retention, and expiry.
  2. Canonicalize URLs before policy evaluation. Deny unsupported schemes, embedded credentials, private/link-local addresses, disallowed ports, redirects outside scope, and lookalike hosts.
  3. Allow only required operations, formats, actions, headers, locations, proxy modes, and crawl settings. Set explicit page, time, credit, and concurrency ceilings.
  4. Apply provider-side key, IP, threat-protection, and audit controls where entitled, but keep application policy authoritative and fail closed if it is unavailable.
  5. Treat retrieved content as untrusted data. Separate it from system instructions, validate extracted JSON, sanitize active content, and gate downstream actions.
  6. Log policy version, decision, source class, request class, limits, and opaque IDs without keys, URLs with secrets, headers, prompts, or bodies.
  7. Test redirect, DNS rebinding, wildcard, internationalized-domain, restriction bypass, budget, retention, and prompt-injection cases before rollout.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, tests, and evidence. Use Write/Edit only for approved implementation or documentation changes. Do not call Firecrawl, rotate keys, change account settings, scrape a target, or deploy merely because this skill was invoked.

Approval Boundaries

Require policy-owner and legal/security review before adding a domain, collecting authenticated or personal data, changing robots/terms posture, enabling broad actions/proxies, or weakening retention and limits.

Output

Return the policy artifact/version, authorization inventory, canonicalization and allow/deny rules, provider controls, test corpus and results, exceptions, owners, and enforcement receipt.

Error Handling

  • Authorization basis is missing or expired: deny the request.
  • Policy service is unavailable: fail closed or use a pre-approved read-only degraded policy.
  • Redirect or resolved address escapes scope: stop before sending credentials or following content.

Examples

  • "Allow our documentation domains" creates exact host/path rules and redirect tests.
  • "Ignore robots because Firecrawl can crawl it" is rejected pending the governing policy decision.

Resources

Read official Firecrawl evidence before relying on an endpoint, SDK method, plan limit, price, retention option, or self-hosted release.
