| description | Cookie-driven Playwright fallback for reading Honeycomb data when the official Honeycomb MCP server can't answer. Triggers - honeycomb ui scrape, honeycomb playwright, MCP fallback. |
tooling-honeycomb-ui
Primary path is the Honeycomb MCP server, not this skill. https://mcp.honeycomb.io/mcp is wired through mcporter as honeycomb (OAuth, streamable HTTP). Honeycomb Intelligence is on all plans (Free / Pro / Enterprise), so MCP works on Kai's Free account. Use mcp__honeycomb__* tools first.
The earlier framing that "the REST Query Data API requires Enterprise so the only programmatic path is driving the UI" conflated two separate surfaces. The /1/query_results REST endpoint is still Enterprise-gated, but MCP is a separate Intelligence-backed surface that doesn't go through that endpoint. Correction tracked in agentic-os-kai (see "See also").
This skill stays as the cookie-driven Playwright fallback: use it only when MCP can't answer a specific question that the UI can (heatmap visualization scrapes, DOM-shaped data the MCP doesn't expose, etc.).
Procedures
Boundaries
- Cookie scope: the session cookie is Honeycomb-scoped. It cannot reach Google, cannot mint Google tokens, cannot read mail. If the cookie leaks, rotate by signing out of Honeycomb on Kai's main browser (which invalidates server-side) and re-stashing.
- Do not keep a Playwright context alive across turns. Each query run opens fresh, loads cookies, runs, closes.
- Do not log full cookie values to chat or to scrape files. Print the rendered table or screenshot only.
- The skill is read-only against Honeycomb. Do not click Save Query / Save to Board / Trigger create buttons without explicit ask.
