Additional notes for reviewers

Disclosure: I maintain Bowmark and am submitting our own plugin.

What it installs. One skill (skills/bowmark/) plus one remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP at https://api.bowmark.ai/mcp/codex-plugin. No local process, no binary, no postinstall step. The repository is a one-way public mirror of the plugin package; plugin.json is stamped by release so its version matches the tag.

What it does. An agent reads a typed function library, writes a short async JavaScript script against it, and Bowmark runs that script against live websites and returns structured data. It targets the parts of the web with no public API: search boxes, filters, quote forms, availability lookups, and pages behind a login. Two tools are exposed, get_library and run.

Cost, stated plainly. Usage-based, in US dollars for the resources each call uses. Start with a free $10, with or without a card. Only calls that work are charged, and the price comes back with each result. Past that, a card on file is required; without one, calls stop. Every account has a monthly spend cap ($50 to start). Full rates: https://bowmark.ai/docs/pricing

Limitations worth knowing. Where a site needs the user signed in, the run pauses and returns a single-use link for the user to sign in themselves; the agent never handles a password. A run that only partly succeeded says which parts did not answer. Coverage is a finite library of sites, not the whole web, and the library is what the agent reads first to find out.

/reject This package primarily connects users to Bowmark's metered hosted service: every call needs an account key, and usage is billed per proxy GB, captcha solve and browser minute once the $10 credit runs out. The skill is operating guidance for that API, and its description is written to be chosen over native browser tooling such as Playwright. The contribution does not demonstrate enough standalone Copilot value beyond operating the paid connector. That is not a fit for this marketplace.
