The extension stores only two items locally in your browser via chrome.storage.local:
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Server URL | The address of your local OpenAgent backend |
| Auth token | An optional token used to authenticate with that backend |
Both values remain on your device and are never transmitted to any third-party server.
All communication is between your browser and the local server you configure (default: http://127.0.0.1:14000). Specifically:
- A WebSocket connection is opened to that local address
- DOM snapshots, tab metadata, and interaction results are sent through that connection
- No data is sent to the extension developer or any external service
The extension requests broad host permissions (<all_urls>) solely to inject its content script into whichever tab the AI agent is instructed to operate. It does not read, collect, or transmit browsing history.
The extension contains no analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry code of any kind.
