Skill cast time and cooldowns, yes. Those are static numbers. However, calculating the effects of booster is a formula and is therefore not included.

client sided; everything that is in the client and in patches -> all client sided scripts and data can be extracted
server sided; everything thats on the server, scripts and whatnot. -> cant be extracted
or is there a blurry/grey part in between that dont match my description
different phrasing, "all clientsided data can be extracted, all serversided data cant"
client sided; everything that is in the client and in patches -> all client sided scripts and data can be extracted
Close but not quite. The magic damage formula is client sided, but it cannot be easily extracted without a debugger. I guess you could argue that debugging is the same as extracting, but I digress.
It is true that server sided data cannot be extracted. However, while we can't see inside the box that is server sided data, packet editors can see the input and output of packets regarding the script. So it's not possible to see it, but it is possible to see the effects of it - kind of like cosmic censorship.
