rclone_config_string

rclone_config_string is a command for coding agents from chaunsin/agent-skills. It costs 8 tokens per session (368 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that prints the connection details for one rclone storage connection, called a remote. The result can be used wherever rclone expects a remote.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pass a remote's settings to scripts, commands, or the remote-control API. It can also include backend options such as an S3 region or access setting.
Why use it?
It provides a portable connection string when using a configuration file is inconvenient, including with rclone's remote-control API.

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

rclone_config_string 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.

What it actually says

Official documentation: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_config_string/

rclone config string

Print connection string for a single remote.

Synopsis

Print a connection string for a single remote.

The connection strings can be used wherever a remote is needed and can be more convenient than using the config file, especially if using the RC API.

Backend parameters may be provided to the command also.

Example:

$ rclone config string s3:rclone --s3-no-check-bucket
:s3,access_key_id=XXX,no_check_bucket,provider=AWS,region=eu-west-2,secret_access_key=YYY:rclone

NB the strings are not quoted for use in shells (eg bash, powershell, windows cmd). Most will work if enclosed in "double quotes", however connection strings that contain double quotes will require further quoting which is very shell dependent.

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.
