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

neon-api-projects scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Overview

This document outlines the rules for managing Neon projects programmatically. It covers creation, retrieval, updates, and deletion.

Manage projects

List projects

  1. Action: Retrieves a list of all projects accessible to the account associated with the API key. This is the primary method for obtaining project_id values required for other API calls.
  2. Endpoint: GET /projects
  3. Query Parameters:
    • limit (optional, integer, default: 10): Specifies the number of projects to return, from 1 to 400.
    • cursor (optional, string): Used for pagination. Provide the cursor value from a previous response to fetch the next set of projects.
    • search (optional, string): Filters projects by a partial match on the project name or id.
    • org_id (optional, string): Filters projects by a specific organization ID.
  4. When iterating through all projects, use a combination of the limit and cursor parameters to handle pagination correctly.

Example request:

# Retrieve the first 10 projects
curl 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects?limit=10' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NEON_API_KEY"

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.
