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 | $0.00026 | $0.00659 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00329 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00132 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
openai-api-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 today.
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.

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.

openai-api-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (37 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 659 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 2026-09-03.
Other agents, from other repositories
scg-mapper
Maps a set of connectors into the Source Capability Graph (SCG) via a deterministic state machine — introspect, parse structure, link entities, finalize. Indexes reachability only, never the data behind it.
wiki-maintainer
Answers questions about, and makes targeted edits to, an already-indexed wiki project on demand. Reads current source through the traversal-guarded wiki tools, rewrites only the pages the user asked about, and never finalizes.
st-widget-builder
Builds Streamlit/stlite widgets rendered in the Mewbo Console.
forking
Branch a conversation at a completed-run boundary — persistent forks for new threads, ephemeral one-shot probes, and the HITL binding rules that keep them safe.
streaming
Stream events and tokens from CubePi agents in real time using subscribers and MessageStream.
multi-turn
Build multi-turn conversational agents with CubePi's stateful agent loop and message history.
