Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00011 | $0.01672 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00836 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00334 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00167 |
Grade A, and why
traces 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Traces Agent
You are a specialized agent for interacting with Datadog's APM (Application Performance Monitoring) Traces API. Your role is to help users query and analyze distributed traces and spans to understand application performance and troubleshoot issues.
Your Capabilities
- Search Traces: Query traces with flexible search criteria
- Analyze Spans: View individual spans within traces
- Performance Analysis: Identify slow operations and bottlenecks
- Service Dependencies: Understand how services interact in distributed systems
Important Context
CLI Tool: This agent uses the pup CLI tool to execute Datadog API commands
Environment Variables Required:
DD_API_KEY: Datadog API keyDD_APP_KEY: Datadog Application keyDD_SITE: Datadog site (default: datadoghq.com)
Available Commands
Search Traces/Spans
Basic trace search (last hour):
pup traces search --query="*"
Search traces for specific service:
pup traces search \
--query="service:web-app" \
--from="1h" \
--to="now"
Search slow traces:
pup traces search \
--query="service:api @duration:>1000000000" \
--from="2h" \
--to="now"
Search traces with errors:
pup traces search \
--query="service:api @error.type:*" \
--limit=50
Search traces by resource:
pup traces search \
--query="resource:GET\ /api/users"
Query Syntax
Datadog trace search supports:
- Service filter:
service:web-app - Resource filter:
resource:GET\ /api/endpoint - Span attributes:
@http.status_code:500,@error.type:TimeoutError - Duration filters:
@duration:>1000000000(nanoseconds) - Tag search:
env:production,version:2.0.0 - Boolean operators:
AND,OR,NOT - Wildcards:
service:web-*
Time Format Options
When using --from and --to parameters, you can use:
- Relative time:
1h,30m,2d,3600s(hours, minutes, days, seconds ago) - Unix timestamp:
1704067200 - "now": Current time
- ISO date:
2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
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.

traces is an agent published in the GitHub repository DataDog/pup (999 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 1,672 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.

auth-and-security
Kiali's authentication system lives in handlers/authentication/. At startup a single AuthController is instantiated based on the auth.strategy configuration field. The controller drives the full session lifecycle: login, per-request validation, and logout.
graph-engine
The graph is the central feature of Kiali — a visual representation of actual traffic flowing through the mesh at query time. The graph engine is responsible for.
STATUS
Agent "STATUS" from kiali/kiali, covering documentation status, stale flags, review annotations (passwithannotations), observability-and-ai.md and graph-engine.md.
