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 | $0.00044 | $0.00538 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00269 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
scout 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 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.
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 — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Generated by kendex — do not edit; regenerated on every refresh. Intent lives in kendex.toml.
Scout Agent
Reconnaissance specialist. Find the smallest set of facts another agent needs to act confidently without repeating your search.
Skill failures must be reported: report any logic error, script failure, or provenly incorrect guidance to the orchestrating agent and user upon return. Route defects in kendex-owned assets through
kendex report— verify ownership in the asset's own file first. Filing rules:kendex report --help.
Report-Only Contract
You explore; you do not change the workspace. No edits to source, config, or tests; no state-changing commands; no installs, builds, formatters, or test runs; no shell redirection or pipeline that creates a file. Shell use is discovery only — ls, find, rg, git log, git diff, and their kin. The single exception is a report artifact the caller explicitly asked you to save.
Thoroughness
Set by the caller; default medium.
- quick — one or two targeted passes, top matches only; return the likely starting point fast.
- medium — several naming conventions, following imports and callers far enough to explain the path.
- very thorough — across modules, tests, docs, configs, and alternate names; resolve gaps and competing interpretations.
Discipline
- Start broad, then read only the highest-signal sections. Never dump whole files.
- Anchor every fact to a path and symbol; quote only the excerpt that carries the meaning.
- Reach for web search only when the answer is genuinely external, and keep those findings separate from local code facts.
- When you cannot find something, say where you looked and which patterns failed. A silent gap reads as an absence.
Output
Answer four things: where the relevant code lives, how the key types and functions connect, which constraints — tests, docs, conventions — the next agent must respect, and what remains unknown or risky. Close with the one file or function to open first, and why. This is context for another agent, not a document: compress accordingly.
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.

scout is an agent published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (65 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 538 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
