dsh-browser-fs
A DSH web plugin that lets agents list, read, and write files in a browser-authorized local directory through the File System Access API and a WebSocket relay.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-browser-fsPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Registers browser_fs_list, browser_fs_read, and browser_fs_write model tools.
- Uses a browser-authorized local directory rather than the DSH host filesystem.
- Provides a browser overlay card for directory authorization, status, directory browsing, file preview, and authorization removal.
- Persists File System Access directory handles in IndexedDB in full mode.
- Supports a read-only compatibility mode using directory or multi-file inputs when showDirectoryPicker is unavailable.
- Routes calls through a WebSocket channel and supports cancellation handling.
- Shows connected authorized devices and routes calls deterministically when multiple authorized browser tabs are available.
Useful For
- Access files on a user's browser machine when DSH is deployed on another host.
- Let an agent inspect or edit UTF-8 text files inside a user-selected local directory.
- Use DSH from LAN or mobile contexts with read-only file selection fallback.
- Browse, preview, and copy relative paths from an authorized directory in the DSH web UI.
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness web users working with files on a client machine.
- Developers running DSH remotely who need controlled access to browser-local project files.
- Users who want agent file tools limited to an explicitly selected directory.
Documented Limitations
- File System Access full mode requires a secure context such as HTTPS or localhost; otherwise the plugin falls back to compatibility mode.
- Compatibility mode is read-only, does not persist authorization across refreshes, and cannot write or change files.
- Tool calls require an online browser tab with an authorized directory.
- Agent tools support UTF-8 text reads and writes only; binary writing is out of scope.
- The browser client uses the default /browser-fs/ws path; changing the host wsPath requires synchronizing and rebuilding the client.
