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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.03569 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01784 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00714 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00357 |
Grade A, and why
step-evidence scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Step 2 — Gather evidence
This is the data-source catalogue for Untether debugging. Run the relevant sources for the classified issue type (Step 1). Don't skip — each surfaces different context.
Replace ${HOURS} with the window (default 24 for sweep, sized to fit the
issue's reported window in targeted mode).
2a. journalctl (lba-1 — five services)
Untether runs five services on lba-1:
| Service | Bot | Source |
|---|---|---|
untether.service |
@hetz_lba1_bot (staging) |
PyPI / TestPyPI wheel |
untether-dev.service |
@untether_dev_bot (dev) |
Local editable /home/nathan/untether/src/ |
untether-demo.service |
demo bot | Local editable, demo config |
untether-dev-hf.service |
handoff dev | Local editable, handoff config |
untether-dev-ws.service |
workspace dev | Local editable, workspace config |
# Per-service error/warning lines
for unit in untether untether-dev untether-demo untether-dev-hf untether-dev-ws; do
systemctl --user is-active "$unit.service" >/dev/null 2>&1 || continue
echo "=== $unit ==="
journalctl --user -u "$unit" --since "${HOURS}h ago" --output=cat \
| grep -E 'level=(error|warning)|"level":\s*"(error|warning)"' | head -200
done
For targeted mode, restrict to the affected service. Most issues live in
untether-dev (development) or untether (staging-PyPI); the demo/handoff/ws
services rarely surface novel bugs.
2b. Fleet — four remote hosts (nsd, channelo, sl, mac)
The fleet runs one untether.service per host (the PyPI wheel). SSH from
lba-1 via the tailnet:
for host in nsd channelo mac; do
echo "=== $host ==="
ssh "$host" "journalctl --user -u untether --since '${HOURS}h ago' --output=cat \
| grep -E 'level=(error|warning)|\"level\":\\s*\"(error|warning)\"'" 2>/dev/null \
| head -200 || echo "(host unreachable)"
done
If a host is unreachable, never silently drop it — log "partial scope:
unreachable" in the report. The mac host uses OpenSSH only (Tailscale ACL
forbids tag:server → user-owned); ensure ssh mac works from lba-1 before
debugging.
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.

step-evidence is a command published in the GitHub repository littlebearapps/untether (66 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,569 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
