What is scan-registry?

A Windows Registry security scan command. The Registry is Windows' database of system, application, user, startup, browser, and policy settings.

Use it to inspect startup entries, browser settings, policy restrictions, and other Registry locations for suspicious changes.

It provides a structured way to look for malware persistence, browser changes, and other unauthorized modifications across important Registry locations.

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.

Clone the repo

Per session 15 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 696 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00015	$0.00696
Opus 5	$0.00008	$0.00348
Sonnet 5	$0.00003	$0.00139
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00070

Security

Grade A, and why

scan-registry 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.

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.
