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 | $0.00398 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00199 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00080 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
root-decorator-tests 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
Rule: Root Decorator Test Structure
Description
Root decorator tests (such as for @disable, @defaultRequired, etc.) must follow a table-driven, DRY structure. Each test case should be represented as an object with fields for label, headers, values, and expected results. A single setup function should run all cases using describe().
Rationale
- Ensures consistency and maintainability across all root decorator tests.
- Makes it easy to add new cases and reduces code duplication.
- Matches the style used in PR #47 and root-decorators.test.ts.
Requirements
- Each root decorator test file must export a function that takes an array of test case objects and runs them using describe/it.
- Each test case object must include at least: label, headers, values, and expected results (e.g., expectedKeys, expectedDisabled, etc.).
- The test runner function must be used in describe() to run all cases.
- Avoid copy-pasting individual it() blocks for each case; use the table-driven approach.
Example
function rootDecoratorTests(
tests: Array<{
label: string;
headers: string;
values: string;
expectedKeys: string[];
expectedDisabled: boolean;
}>,
) {
return () => {
tests.forEach(({ label, headers, values, expectedKeys, expectedDisabled }) => {
it(label, async () => {
// ...setup and assertions...
});
});
};
}
describe('@disable root decorator', rootDecoratorTests([
// ...test cases...
]));
Enforcement
- PRs adding or modifying root decorator tests must follow this structure.
- Reviewers should request changes if tests are not table-driven or DRY.
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.

root-decorator-tests is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository dmno-dev/varlock (4,238 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 398 tokens. 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.
