web-update

web-update is a command for coding agents from proticom/gnosys. It costs 0 tokens per session (488 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that refreshes one website page or one local knowledge file, then rebuilds the search index.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to re-import a URL, refresh a local Markdown file, choose a category, and update the index.
Why use it?
It keeps a single piece of stored information current without requiring a full website crawl.

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.

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

web-update 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 yesterday.

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

gnosys web update

Re-ingest a URL or refresh a local knowledge file, then rebuild the search index.

Usage

gnosys web update https://example.com/page
gnosys web update blog/example-page.md
gnosys web update https://example.com/page --category blog --no-llm --json

Arguments

Argument Description
urlOrPath HTTP(S) URL to re-ingest, or path relative to the knowledge directory for local refresh

Prerequisites

Run gnosys web init first so gnosys.json contains a web configuration.

Options

Option Description
--no-llm Force structured mode (skip LLM enrichment)
--category <name> Override category inference for URL ingest
--json Output result as JSON

URL branch

  1. Re-ingests via ingestUrl with source: "urls", config output dir, optional category override, LLM from config unless --no-llm.
  2. Rebuilds index to <knowledgeRoot>/gnosys-index.json.

Local path branch

  1. Resolves path against knowledgeRoot.
  2. Rejects absolute paths and ../ traversal outside the knowledge directory.
  3. Verifies file exists, then rebuilds index.

Human output

URL:

Updated: https://example.com/page
  Added: 1, Updated: 0
Index rebuilt: 42 documents

Local:

Refreshed: blog/example-page.md
Index rebuilt: 42 documents

JSON output

URL success includes ingest result fields plus documentCount. Local success:

{
  "ok": true,
  "refreshed": "blog/example-page.md",
  "documentCount": 42
}

Validation

cd gnosys-public
npm run cli -- web update --help
npx vitest run src/test/web-update-command-handler.test.ts
  • gnosys web add — ingest a single URL without full update flow.
  • gnosys web build-index — rebuild index only.
Changes

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.
