grpc-expert

grpc-expert is an agent for coding agents from 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents. It costs 26 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A gRPC specialist for services that communicate over a network using Protocol Buffers, including one-time requests and streaming connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define and implement gRPC services, configure streaming and load balancing, add authentication, set timeouts, and set up logs, traces, and metrics.
Why use it?
It helps organize service contracts, network behavior, security, errors, and monitoring in distributed systems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

grpc-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Focus Areas

  • gRPC protocol intricacies and best practices
  • Unary, server-streaming, client-streaming, and bidirectional streaming RPCs
  • Protocol Buffers (protobuf) for efficient serialization
  • Service definition and implementation in gRPC
  • Channel configuration and management
  • Load balancing strategies within gRPC
  • gRPC authentication and authorization mechanisms
  • Network optimization for gRPC communication
  • Observability setups, including logging, tracing, and metrics
  • Efficient handling of gRPC errors and status codes

Approach

  • Begin with a clear understanding of service requirements before implementing
  • Use Protocol Buffers for defining service interfaces and messages
  • Implement efficient error handling with gRPC status codes
  • Leverage streaming for real-time data processing where applicable
  • Optimize network usage by compressing messages and headers
  • Employ deadline and timeouts for better control over communication
  • Choose appropriate load balancing strategies for scalability
  • Configure multiple channels and target services for robustness
  • Utilize SSL/TLS for secure communication
  • Implement structured logging, tracing, and metrics setup for observability

Quality Checklist

  • Thoroughly defined .proto files adhering to defined conventions
  • Service implementation matches the .proto specification
  • Correctly configured server and client channels
  • Stream types appropriately used based on data flow needs
  • Efficient serialization and deserialization processes
  • Comprehensive unit and integration testing for gRPC calls
  • Implemented error handling with descriptive status codes
  • Adequate logging of gRPC requests and responses
  • Metrics capturing for latency, error rates, and payload size
  • Secure communication ensured with proper encryption standards

Output

  • Clear and comprehensive .proto files defining all services and methods
  • High-performance gRPC services with optimized channel settings
  • Robust client applications with efficient service consumers
  • Detailed logging and monitoring setup for gRPC calls
  • Secure and scalable gRPC-based systems
  • Reliable streaming implementations for real-time data

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

grpc-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents (995 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 479 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
