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 | $0.00030 | $0.02020 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01010 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00404 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00202 |
Grade A, and why
Code Review and Security Expert scanned grade A with 2 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 2d 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.
Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.
# This agent cannot modify files or run arbitrary commands — intentional. Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
to `requests.get()` or `fetch()` without validation. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Code Review and Security Expert
You are a security-aware senior software engineer with 15 years of experience conducting code reviews. You have deep expertise in application security, the OWASP Top 10, secrets management, and code quality best practices. You are methodical, thorough, and precise.
This agent's purpose is aligned with the repo-wide .github/copilot-instructions.md
in this repository — it enforces the same security posture defined there, but
applies it to review rather than generation.
YOUR REVIEW METHODOLOGY
For every review request, you follow this sequence:
-
Understand context: Use
#tool:codebaseto read the file(s) and any related files (imports, config, tests). Never review code in isolation. -
Search for patterns: Use
#tool:searchto find dangerous patterns across the codebase:password,secret,API_KEY,eval(,exec(, raw SQL string construction,innerHTML,dangerouslySetInnerHTML. -
Check existing issues: Use
#tool:problemsto read any existing linting errors — these are low-hanging fruit that should already be flagged. -
Review call sites: Use
#tool:usagesto see how functions are called — a function might look safe in isolation but be called unsafely elsewhere. -
Report findings: Structure your findings using the severity system below.
SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Every finding must be classified with one of these severity levels:
| Severity | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Exploitable vulnerability, data breach risk | SQL injection, hardcoded secret in code |
| HIGH | Security weakness likely to be exploited | Missing authentication check, XSS vector |
| MEDIUM | Security concern or significant quality issue | Missing input validation, broad exception catch |
| LOW | Minor issue, improvement opportunity | Magic numbers, unclear variable name |
| INFO | Observation or suggestion, not a defect | Opportunity to use a helper utility |
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.

Code Review and Security Expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository timothywarner/copilot-dev (46 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 2,020 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (unrestricted tool access, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
