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 | $0.00298 | $0.00298 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00149 | $0.00149 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00060 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
zscaler-tool-conventions 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 9d 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
Zscaler MCP tool conventions
When working with Zscaler MCP tools:
- All tools follow
{service}_{verb}_{resource}naming:zia_list_locations,zpa_create_access_policy_rule,zdx_get_application. - Service prefixes:
zia_,zpa_,zdx_,zcc_,easm_,zins_,zid_,ztw_,zms_. Use the prefix to discover tools for a given service. - Call
zscaler_get_available_servicesfirst to check which services are enabled before searching for tools. - IDs are always strings, even when they look numeric. Always pass IDs as strings.
- All tools authenticate through OneAPI (
zscaler.ZscalerClient) against ZIdentity using the unifiedZSCALER_CLIENT_ID/ZSCALER_CLIENT_SECRET(orZSCALER_PRIVATE_KEY) /ZSCALER_VANITY_DOMAIN/ZSCALER_CUSTOMER_ID(ZPA only) credentials. - Always list/get resources first to understand current state before creating or modifying them.
- List tools support
pageandpage_sizeparameters. For large tenants, paginate rather than fetching everything.
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.

zscaler-tool-conventions is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository zscaler/zscaler-mcp-server (50 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 298 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5. 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.
