There is a logical contradiction between the <browser_spec> and the new <url_reading_spec> instructions.

  1. <browser_spec> explicitly states that the agent-browser skill is available for web scraping and navigating sites behind auth.
  2. However, <url_reading_spec> states:
    • 'Never fetch or read the original URL directly when the task is to inspect, extract, summarize...' (which prevents using agent-browser to scrape/read any original URL directly).
    • 'Never send private, localhost, credential-bearing, or signed URLs to Jina Reader. Explain that the URL cannot be read safely instead.' (which forces the agent to refuse reading private/authenticated URLs entirely, rather than using the safe local agent-browser skill).
    • 'Use the original URL directly only for interactive browser actions...' (which excludes reading/inspecting/scraping from allowed direct browser actions).

This contradiction will cause the agent to fail or refuse when asked to perform web scraping or navigate/read authenticated/private sites using the browser skill.

To resolve this, we should clarify that the restriction on direct URL reading applies to public URLs (which should go through Jina Reader), and that the local agent-browser skill should be used directly to safely access and read private, localhost, or authenticated URLs.
