Using extensions to automate stuff?

I made an extension, it's open source and useful hopefully, but a bunch of people complained it enables cheating.
I did get rid of bottom decking a card, which is the only convenient way to cheat, because it's possible to fail to notice it, but I want more input regarding it.
It enables a lot of things to do, both in custom cards and both in ranked, while obviously it's most useful in custom cards, I'll mention those useful in GOAT:
4 commands to look up cards in deck and mill or add them. This is very useful when my opponent approves resolving every Toon table of Contents
Fifth command to randomly select a card in opponent's hand for Delinq Duo.
Also you can use math in the LP gain window, I found myself accidentally cheating in ranked because I miscalculated. When this feature, not gonna happen ever again.
But obviously it's more useful in custom cards, enabling all of these:
1. Attacking from your pendulum scale
2. Attacking during your opponent's battle phase
3. Setting an extra deck monster face down to the field.
4. Face down link monsters ( to face down an opponent's link monster, ask for control of it and flip it, then give control back )
5. Flipping decks with Convulsion of Nature effects.
6. Banishing a random Extra Deck card face up ( similar to Cynet Storm )
7. Banish random card from extra deck face down ( Pot of Extravegence )
8. Adding cards to your opponent's hand.
9. Setting Spells & Traps to your field as a monster ( Magical Hats )
10. Stay Revealed ( Lord of Heavenly Prison )
11. Move card to your deck face up
TLDR: Is this okay to be used in the game? Should I limit it only to custom cards when it's useful for ranked as well? Would it be okay if I made the extension send a message in chat that warns that a custom extension is used?
Edit: I forgot to mention it here and in the extension. It also resolves Exchange of the Spirit, the hardest card to use ( to make it fair, it requires there to be 0 banished cards, and banishes the deck before doing anything else )
