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 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00134 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00067 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00027 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00013 |
Grade A, and why
go-api-security-and-best-practices 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 5d 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
- Implement input validation for API endpoints.
- Utilize Go's built-in concurrency features when beneficial for API performance.
- Follow RESTful API design principles and best practices.
- Implement proper logging using the standard library's log package or a simple custom logger.
- Consider implementing middleware for cross-cutting concerns (e.g., logging, authentication).
- Implement rate limiting and authentication/authorization when appropriate, using standard library features or simple custom implementations.
- Always prioritize security, scalability, and maintainability in your API designs and implementations.
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.

go-api-security-and-best-practices is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules (27 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 134 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 2026-09-03.
