ingest-dev

ingest-dev is a command for coding agents from punt-labs/quarry. It costs 13 tokens per session (413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for adding a web URL, directory, or file location to Quarry's knowledge base. A knowledge base is a collection of indexed information that can later be searched.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to index a URL, register a local directory, or prepare a file's containing directory for indexing.
Why use it?
It handles the different steps needed to register local paths or ingest web sources, reducing mistakes with paths and source types.

Part of the quarry-dev plugin — 1 skill, 14 commands, 1 agent, 3 hooks shipped together

Install

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/punt-labs/quarry/ingest-dev
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/punt-labs/quarry

Or install quarry-dev, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 14 commands, 1 agent, 3 hooks.

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

ingest-dev 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 3d 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 it actually says

Input

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Determine the ingestion method:

  1. If it starts with http:// or https://: URL (auto-discovers sitemaps)
  2. Otherwise it's a local path — a directory or a single file: Local path (indexed via directory registration + sync; the ingest tool itself only accepts URLs, so a local file is reached by registering the directory that contains it — this indexes the whole directory, not just the one file)

Expand ~ to the user's home directory, and resolve any relative path to an absolute one against the current working directory, before calling any tool (the tool sends the path as given, and a relative path resolved on the wrong side registers the wrong directory).

Task

Call the appropriate tool(s):

  • URL: mcp__plugin_quarry-dev_quarry__ingest with source set to the argument
  • Local path: Call mcp__plugin_quarry-dev_quarry__register_directory with directory set to the absolute path. If the result contains FileNotFoundError (the daemon rejects both a nonexistent path and an existing file this way — there's no way to tell them apart from the error alone), retry once with the path's parent directory. Any other error (already registered, name conflict, etc.) is not a file-vs-directory problem — report it as-is, do not retry. Then call mcp__plugin_quarry-dev_quarry__sync_all_registrations

The result is already formatted by a PostToolUse hook and displayed above. Do not repeat or reformat the data. Do not send any text after the tool call.

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.
