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 | $0.01297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00259 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00130 |
Grade A, and why
uv-tool-usage 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
UV Tool Usage
Basic Commands
- Create virtual environments with:
uv venvinstead ofpython -m venv - Install packages with:
uv pip install packageinstead ofpip install package - Run Python scripts with:
uv run python script.pyinstead ofpython script.py - Initialize a new project:
uv init myproject - Generate lockfile:
uv lock - Install dependencies from lockfile:
uv sync - Run commands in project environment:
uv run command
Project Management
- Use uv for all project management:
uv init myproject - Create standard project structure with:
- pyproject.toml - Project configuration
- src/ - Source code directory
- .venv/ - Virtual environment (created when needed)
- uv.lock - Lockfile for dependencies
- Add dependencies with:
uv add package - Add dev dependencies with:
uv add --dev package - Remove dependencies with:
uv remove package - Update dependencies with:
uv update - Show installed packages with:
uv list
Package Management
- Build packages with:
uv build - Publish to PyPI with:
uv publish - Manage dependencies with uv instead of poetry or pip-tools:
uv pip compile pyproject.toml -o requirements.txtto generate requirementsuv syncto install dependencies from lockfile (preferred method)uv pip sync requirements.txtas alternative for requirements.txt files
Python Version Management
- Install specific Python versions:
uv python install 3.11 - List installed Python versions:
uv python list - Pin project to a Python version:
uv python pin 3.11 - Create virtual environment with specific Python:
uv venv --python 3.12.0 - Use specific Python version:
uv run --python 3.11 script.py
Tool Management
- Run tools in ephemeral environments with:
uvx tool-name(e.g.,uvx pytest) - Install tools globally with:
uv tool install ruff - List installed tools with:
uv tool list - Uninstall tools with:
uv tool uninstall ruff - Run Python-based tools without installing:
uvx tool-name
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.

uv-tool-usage is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository mitas/cursor-rules (2 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,297 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 2026-08-31.
