Firecrawl Scraper

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Site extraction
• Dynamic content
• Encountering JavaScript rendering
• Content loading errors

Example prompts

• “/firecrawl-scraper”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js
• A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

1. 1/v2/scrape - Single Page Scraping
2. 2/v2/crawl - Full Site Crawling
3. 3/v2/map - URL Discovery
4. 4/v2/extract - Structured Data Extraction

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8837836. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python and TypeScript), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • pip
  • bun

  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.firecrawl.dev

  Also links to:

  • docs.firecrawl.dev
  • firecrawl.dev
  • github.com

  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.

Context cost

Firecrawl Scraper loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~51

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

~1.9k

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

~9k

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.

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.
