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 | $0.00000 | $0.00467 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00234 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
switchboard 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 3d ago.
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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
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.

switchboard is an agent published in the GitHub repository open-wa/wa-automate-nodejs (3,652 stars, last pushed yesterday), with no licence file. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 467 tokens. 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.
Other agents, from other repositories
context
Pass custom data through agent operations using context.
subagents
Sub-agents are agents that work under a supervisor agent to handle specific tasks. This architecture allows you to create agent workflows where each sub-agent focuses on a specific domain, coordinated by a supervisor.
tools
Tools enable agents to interact with external systems, APIs, databases, and perform specific actions beyond generating text. An agent uses its model to decide when to call tools based on their descriptions and the current context.
hooks
Hooks intercept specific points in the agent execution pipeline. Use them to observe or modify behavior during agent operations: before a request starts, when preparing messages for the LLM, before and after tool execution, or after completion.
resumable-streaming
Agent "resumable-streaming" from VoltAgent/voltagent, covering resumable streaming, install, how it works, basic usage (hono server) and enabling resumable streams.
message-types
VoltAgent works with three different message type formats, each serving a specific purpose in the agent lifecycle. Understanding when and how to use each type is essential for building effective AI applications.
