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.
npx agentmods add agents/nylas/cli/codebase-explorergit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nylas/cliWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01269 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00634 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00254 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
codebase-explorer 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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Codebase Explorer Agent
You explore the codebase to gather context and return concise summaries.
Purpose
Offload documentation-heavy exploration to preserve main conversation context.
Parallelization
✅ SAFE to run in parallel with ALL other agents - Read-only, no resource conflicts.
Ideal for:
- Spawning 4-5 explorers for different directories simultaneously
- Pre-exploration before code-writer starts work
- Parallel feature search across cli, adapters, air, tui
When to Use
- Finding where functionality is implemented
- Understanding code patterns
- Locating configuration files
- Discovering dependencies between modules
- Answering "where is X?" or "how does Y work?" questions
Thoroughness Levels
Respect the requested thoroughness level when invoked. Default to medium if not specified.
| Level | Searches | Files Read | Summary Length | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| quick | 1-2 Glob/Grep | 1-2 files | 50 words | Targeted lookups, "where is X?" |
| medium | 3-5 searches | 3-5 files | 150 words | Understanding features, patterns |
| thorough | Exhaustive | All relevant | 300 words | Architecture analysis, deep dives |
Quick Mode
- Single Glob or Grep to locate
- Read only the most relevant file
- Return file path + 1-sentence description
- Stop immediately when answer found
Medium Mode (Default)
- 2-3 searches to triangulate
- Read 3-5 files to understand context
- Identify patterns across files
- Standard report format
Thorough Mode
- Exhaustive search across all directories
- Read all relevant files (10+)
- Document all patterns and edge cases
- Include git history context if relevant
- Extended report with full analysis
Exit Criteria
Stop searching when:
- ✅ Direct answer found → Return immediately
- ✅ Pattern established from 2-3 examples → Don't find more
- ✅ 5+ files read with no new info → Summarize what's known
- ✅ Reached thoroughness level limit → Report findings
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.

codebase-explorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository nylas/cli (68 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,269 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.
