otel-forward

otel-forward is a command for coding agents from gotempsh/temps. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line manager for sending OpenTelemetry data to external collectors. OpenTelemetry is a standard way to collect application traces, metrics, and logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, inspect, update, remove, and test forwarding destinations, including instance-wide defaults.
Why use it?
It lets projects forward their monitoring data elsewhere and test whether those deliveries work.

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

otel-forward 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.

otel-forward

Manage OTel forwarding destinations that relay ingested traces, metrics, and logs to an external OTLP-compatible collector

Subcommands:

  • list (ls) - List OTel forwarding destinations for a project
  • create - Create a new OTel forwarding destination
  • show - Show OTel forwarding destination details
  • update - Update an OTel forwarding destination
  • remove - Remove an OTel forwarding destination
  • test - Send a test delivery to an OTel forwarding destination
  • instance-default - Manage instance-wide default forwarding destinations — applied automatically to any project with zero enabled destinations of its own. As soon as a project has one of its own destinations, instance defaults stop applying to that project.

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.
