recon-agent

A security reconnaissance agent that finds subdomains, live hosts, URLs, and other publicly visible parts of a target domain. It uses several listed discovery and scanning tools to produce a prioritised attack surface.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for starting security reconnaissance on a new target domain and identifying systems or URLs that may need review.
Why use it?
It gathers many kinds of public-facing information in one reconnaissance process, reducing manual searching when assessing a new domain.

Agent for Codex

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.

Made for: Codex.

Per session 63 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,005 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 1 finding. Scan, not verified.
Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

recon-agent scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
