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 | $0.00039 | $0.01485 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00594 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00297 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00148 |
Grade B, and why
stackhawk-hawkscan-install scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
curl -fsSL "$url" -o hawk && chmod +x hawk && sudo mv hawk /usr/local/bin/hawk Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

CLI Installation
HawkScan 6 ships as a single self-contained native binary per platform — the runtime is embedded, so no separate Java install is needed. The source of truth for the current version and every download URL is the manifest:
https://download.stackhawk.com/hawkdocs/hawk.manifest.json
URL pattern: https://download.stackhawk.com/hawk/<version>/<group>/hawk[.pkg|.exe|.msi],
where <group> is one of darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-x64, linux-aarch64,
windows-x64, windows-arm64. Always resolve the URL from the manifest rather than
hand-building it — the version and asset list are authoritative there.
Homebrew (macOS — recommended)
brew tap stackhawk/cli
brew trust stackhawk/cli
brew install hawk

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.

stackhawk-hawkscan-install is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository stackhawk/agent-skills (16 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,485 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
