api-gateway-expert is an agent for Claude Code from vibeeval/vibecosystem. It costs 15 tokens per session (502 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent focused on API gateways, which are services that sit between clients and backend services and control how requests are routed. It covers design and configuration topics such as authentication, rate limits, retries, and load balancing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting and configuring gateways, adding rate limits and authentication, transforming requests and responses, designing a backend-for-frontend layer, and setting routing or resilience policies.
Why use it?
It helps structure complicated API traffic and choose suitable gateway patterns for systems made of multiple services.

Token cost

What 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-gateway-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 1mo 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.

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.
