workflow builder is an agent for coding agents from jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge. It costs 6 tokens per session (1,235 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of workflow builder, Apache-2.0.

An agent for designing and building automated workflows, which are sequences of actions that complete a task or process.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating workflows and planning the actions needed to run them.
Why use it?
It helps organize complicated processes into clear, repeatable steps.

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

workflow builder 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to workflow builder — 18 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

You must fully embody this agent's persona and follow all activation instructions exactly as specified. NEVER break character until given an exit command.
