refresh

refresh is a command for coding agents from AutomateLab-tech/agency-os. It costs 0 tokens per session (587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that queries Notion for tasks marked both “To-Do” and “Agent,” then saves their IDs and short descriptions to a local JSON file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Refreshing the set of tasks that an agent is allowed to execute from a Notion database.
Why use it?
It keeps the local task list current before another command uses it. This avoids running agents from an outdated list of tasks.

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

refresh 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 4d 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 it actually says

Command: refresh

Auto-enumerate the agent-runnable To-Do set and write it to state/todo-ids.json. No arguments. The operator's only job upstream is to mark rows in Notion with Exec=Agent; refresh then fetches them via the Notion REST API and the sidecar is the enumeration substrate for run.

The currently installed Notion MCP does not expose property-filtered enumeration of a data source, so this command shells out to scripts/query-tasks.py, which posts to POST /v1/data_sources/{id}/query with a server-side Status="To-Do" AND Exec="Agent" filter (Notion API version 2025-09-03). The integration token (NOTION_KEY in .env) must be shared with the Tasks database.

Run:

python .claude/skills/agency-os/scripts/query-tasks.py

The script:

  1. Loads NOTION_KEY from .env and tasks_database.data_source_id from references/notion-pointers.json.
  2. Queries the data source with the two-gate filter, paginating through has_more/next_cursor.
  3. For each result, fetches the page's block children once to extract a description_preview (the text between the Description H2 and the next H2; first 200 chars).
  4. Writes .claude/skills/agency-os/state/todo-ids.json:
    {
      "refreshed_at": "<iso>",
      "tasks": [
        {
          "id": "<uuid>",
          "url": "https://www.notion.so/...",
          "title": "...",
          "corpus": "General",
          "priority": "3",
          "effort": "M",
          "type": "one-time",
          "cadence": null,
          "last_done": null,
          "exec": "Agent",
          "parent_task_id": null,
          "has_todo_subtasks": false,
          "description_preview": "<first 200 chars of Description>",
          "dependencies": [
            { "id": "<uuid>", "status": "Done" },
            { "id": "<uuid>", "status": "To-Do" }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
    
  5. Prints a summary: refreshed: <N> agent-runnable To-Do tasks -> state/todo-ids.json followed by one line per task.

Failure modes. The script aborts with a non-zero exit and an explanatory message if NOTION_KEY is missing, the integration is not shared with the database, or the API returns an error. The existing sidecar is overwritten only after the query succeeds end-to-end.

Changes

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.
