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 | $0.00010 | $0.00992 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00496 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
runtime-reconf-design 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Runtime reconfiguration is one of the hardest and most error prone features in a distributed system, especially in a consensus based system like etcd.
Read on to learn about the design of etcd's runtime reconfiguration commands and how we tackled these problems.
Two phase config changes keep the cluster safe
In etcd, every runtime reconfiguration has to go through [two phases][add-member] for safety reasons. For example, to add a member, first inform the cluster of the new configuration and then start the new member.
Phase 1 - Inform cluster of new configuration
To add a member into an etcd cluster, make an API call to request a new member to be added to the cluster. This is the only way to add a new member into an existing cluster. The API call returns when the cluster agrees on the configuration change.
Phase 2 - Start new member
To join the new etcd member into the existing cluster, specify the correct initial-cluster and set initial-cluster-state to existing. When the member starts, it will contact the existing cluster first and verify the current cluster configuration matches the expected one specified in initial-cluster. When the new member successfully starts, the cluster has reached the expected configuration.
By splitting the process into two discrete phases users are forced to be explicit regarding cluster membership changes. This actually gives users more flexibility and makes things easier to reason about. For example, if there is an attempt to add a new member with the same ID as an existing member in an etcd cluster, the action will fail immediately during phase one without impacting the running cluster. Similar protection is provided to prevent adding new members by mistake. If a new etcd member attempts to join the cluster before the cluster has accepted the configuration change, it will not be accepted by the cluster.
Without the explicit workflow around cluster membership etcd would be vulnerable to unexpected cluster membership changes. For example, if etcd is running under an init system such as systemd, etcd would be restarted after being removed via the membership API, and attempt to rejoin the cluster on startup. This cycle would continue every time a member is removed via the API and systemd is set to restart etcd after failing, which is unexpected.
We expect runtime reconfiguration to be an infrequent operation. We decided to keep it explicit and user-driven to ensure configuration safety and keep the cluster always running smoothly under explicit control.
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.

runtime-reconf-design is a command published in the GitHub repository openshift-eng/two-node-toolbox (5 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 992 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
