stripe/link-cli is a command-line tool that lets agents obtain temporary payment credentials from a Link wallet for approved purchases without exposing the user's real card details. It is used by agents to complete web checkouts or programmatic payments while requiring purchase approval. The catalogue entries provide components for integrating the CLI with agents.

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 5.1 | $0.07811 | $0.07811 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.03124 | $0.03124 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01562 | $0.01562 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00781 | $0.00781 |
Grade A, and why
link-cli CLAUDE.md 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.

Project Overview
Link CLI — lets agents get secure, one-time-use payment credentials from a Link wallet. pnpm + Turborepo monorepo:
@stripe/link-sdk(packages/sdk): Typed Link API client and resource implementations. It acceptsaccessTokenorgetAccessToken; it does not own OAuth state. Entry:src/index.ts.- Link Go SDK (
packages/sdk-go): Go equivalent of@stripe/link-sdk. It acceptsAccessTokenorGetAccessToken; it does not own OAuth state. Package name:link. - Link Python SDK (
packages/sdk-python): Python 3.11+ library covering the Go SDK's API resources with Python conventions. Distribution name:link-sdk; import name:link. HTTPXClientandAsyncClientexpose typed keyword arguments and Pydantic response models. Uses uv for Python, dependencies, environments, builds, and development commands. @stripe/link-integrations-better-auth(packages/integrations/better-auth): Generic OAuth wrapper for Link sign-in and connecting wallets. Link's stable/userinfo.ididentifies the provider account, using the SDK'sUserInfotype through a development dependency. The/clientexport provideslinkClient():link.connect()wraps nativelinkSocial, whilelink.disconnect()checks an authoritative fresh session, ownership, provider, and last-account policy before revoking the stored refresh token and deleting the account. Revocation failures retain the account and credentials. Better Auth owns OAuth state, token storage, and refresh; wallet API calls remain in the SDK.@stripe/link-integrations-eve(packages/integrations/eve): Native Eve extension built witheve extension build. Static tool files wrap@stripe/link-sdk/toolsand accept exactly one ofaccessTokenor an Eveauthprovider. OAuth tools usectx.getTokenand map Link 401s toctx.requireAuth. The consuming application owns its OAuth provider, including token exchange, storage, refresh, and callback routing; this package supplies no OAuth client or storage abstraction. Static-token mode does not refresh. Interactive OAuth requires an authenticated Eve user.create_spend_requestdefaults to Eve approval viaalways(), which consumers can override;request_approval: falsedefers Link approval for a draft and does not authorize spending. Itsextension/skills/create-payment-credential/SKILL.mdandextension/skills/financial-insights/SKILL.mdadapt the root skills to native tool calls and Eve auth; maintain these copies alongside shared wallet behavior and tool changes. Workspace development and CI require Node 24+.@stripe/agent-identity(packages/agent-identity): Service-side verification of Link bearer attestations and selectively disclosed identity presentations. Independent of the wallet client, using Node built-ins andjose, with ESM/CommonJS exports and a/testingentry point. Consumers require Node 22+; workspace development uses Node 24+. Uses tsup, TypeScript, and Vitest. Runpnpm build,pnpm typecheck, andpnpm testfrompackages/agent-identity; follow its README for package, documentation, and HTTP example checks. Guides live in READMEs; runnable examples useexample/. Read its scopedAGENTS.mdbefore changing verification behavior.@stripe/link-cli(packages/cli): Commander.js + Ink/React CLI that consumes@stripe/link-sdk. Entry:src/cli.tsx.
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.

link-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository stripe/link-cli (865 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 7,811 tokens to every session, about $0.0312 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
